摘要：In China, central cities like Shanghai generate spillover effects on their peripheries, while Beijing exhibits siphon effects, concentrating resources and constraining surrounding regions’ development. This study investigates the political economy origins of these contrasting economic geography patterns, focusing on how government- versus market-dominated resource allocation shapes China’s spatial economic landscape. We hypothesize that market-driven resource allocation enables resources to flow freely across regions, preventing boundary discontinuities and promoting spillover effects, while government-dominated allocation concentrates resources in administrative centers, inducing siphon effects. Using a regression discontinuity design with high-resolution kilometer-level GDP grid data, we quantify siphon effects by estimating economic development discontinuities across central city borders. Provincial-level panel data analysis reveals a significant negative correlation between marketization level and discontinuity magnitude, suggesting that marketization may mitigate siphon effects. Mechanism analysis indicates that marketization reduces discontinuities by alleviating resource misallocation between central cities and their peripheries, fostering balanced regional development.
