ABSTRACT

Airport plays an important role in urban economic development. With the rapid development of China's air industry and the accelerating process of hub airport construction, more and more attention has been paid to the relationship between airport and urban economy. Considering the spatial factor, this paper constructs a Spatial Durbin model based on the mixed spatial weighting matrix to study the spatial spillover effects of airports on urban economic development and 38 hub airports in China from 2001 to 2019 have been selected for research. The influence of airport has been further divided into direct, indirect and total effect. The results show that the airport not only has a positive direct impact on the local economy, but also has a significant positive spillover effect on neighboring cities connected by the air network. The total effect of the airport on urban economy would be underestimated when the spatial spillover effect is not taken into account.
