Abstract
Based on the panel data of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2008 to 2017, this paper empirically analyzes the current situation of the development of China’s sports industry and the impact of the concentration of sports industry on green economic growth by using the exploratory spatial data analysis method (ESDA), static panel model and dynamic panel model. The empirical results show that the sports industry in the southeast coastal provinces of China has a good foundation for concentration. The sports industry concentration in the provinces along the Yangtze River Economic Belt is in the stage of rapid development. The development of sports industry concentration has obvious positive spatial aggregation characteristics, and the spatial spillover effect is obvious; The concentration of sports industry has a significant influence on green economic growth, which expresses the “inverted U-type” relationship. There are significant differences in influence between regions, which show the greatest influence in the middle, followed by the east and the smallest in the west.
Highlights
With the rapid development of social economy, environmental pollution and resource consumption have severely restricted sustainable development
The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly states that China should “promote green development, focus on solving outstanding environmental problems and increase the protection of ecosystems”, which shows the urgent need for China to attach importance to the construction of ecological civilization and adhere to the path of “green growth” economic development in the current situation
Song et al studied the influence of the economic opening and research and development investment on the green economy, and the results showed that there is a non-linear “inverted U-type” relationship between the degree of economic openness and the green economic growth; The influence of research and development investment on the green economy is not conducive to green economic growth in the short-term, but has a positive effect on green economic growth with time goes by
Summary
Industrial agglomeration is widespread in the world, in developed countries, such as the typical manufacturing cluster phenomenon in the United States [6], and in developing countries [7]. The influence of high-tech industrial agglomeration on efficiency of the green economy shows a relationship first of inhibition, and promotion [17]. The research results showed that industrial agglomeration has a significant positive effect on green economy growth. This positive impact has significant regional differences, which are manifested in the fact that the impact of the eastern region is significantly higher than that of the central and western regions [25]. This paper uses panel data from 30 provinces and cities in China (not including Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Tibet) from 2008 to 2017 to empirically analyze the relationship between the concentration of sports industry and green economic growth, so as to explore the impact of sports industry agglomeration on green economic growth and the differences between different regions
