Abstract

The transfer of urban land is an important means for the government to optimize the allocation of resources and promote economic development, and its impact on high-quality economic development (HQED) in the new era is worthy of attention. Based on the panel data of 108 cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2004 to 2017, the entropy method and panel regression model are used to analyze the direct, indirect, and non-linear effects of land transfer on HQED. The study found that: (1) The HQED level of the Yangtze River economic belt increased steadily from 2004 to 2017, but the overall level was low, showing the spatial characteristics of high downstream and low middle and upstream. (2) Urban land transfer (ULT) has a significant positive direct impact on HQED, especially in the upper and middle reaches, while the indirect impact is more beneficial to the downstream areas. The impact of industrial structure upgrading ( uis ) and urbanization ( urb ) on HQED is significantly negative in the upstream area, while significantly positive in the downstream area. (3) There is a significant threshold effect in ULT, and its positive impact on HQED decreases with the expansion of the threshold scale, but increases in the upstream and midstream areas. The overall impact of uis and urb shows inverted “U” characteristics and significant differences in different areas. The conclusion is that the government should first further reform the land resource management system, and then improve the efficiency of construction land use, to reduce the dependence on land resources, and finally promote the upgrading of industrial structure and improve the quality of urbanization.
