| Abstract | Using the 286 Chinese cities data in 2003-2011, this paper examines the relationship and mechanism between the city agglomeration and the city economic resilience. We find that: (1) city agglomeration significantly improves the city economic resilience. (2) the diversity agglomeration also has significant effect on the city economic resilience, but the specialization agglomeration not. (3) for the big city and medium city, the diversity effect is obvious, but for the small city, the specialization effect is significant. (4) regardless of the city location, diversity effect is the core factor in enhancing the city economic resilience. And diversity effect is biggest to the resilience of eastern city, but smallest to the central city; specialization effect is biggest to the resilience of eastern city, but smallest to the western city. The paper has important policy implications to promote the differentiation strategy of urbanization. |
