摘要：The purpose of this paper is to clarify the convergence pattern of China's regional economies, explore the driving force of their coordinated development, and provide policy suggestions for coordinated and high-quality development. We used nighttime light data from 1992 to 2020 and combined an exploratory spatial data analytical method and a log-t test of a nonlinear time-varying factor model to identify the spatial convergence clubs of regional economic growth and the economic growth drivers of different clubs based on a spatial econometric model. We found that the eastern region is strong while the development of the central, western, and northeastern regions follows China's long-term trend. Three high-level economic clubs (Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang belong to Club 1; Shandong, Hebei, Anhui, Henan, and Liaoning belong to Club 2; Hainan, Fujian, and Guangdong belong to Club 3) have formed in the eastern coastal and central regions, while a low-level one (Inner Mongolia, Hubei, Chongqing, Qinghai, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Xizang, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hunan, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Jiangxi, Heilongjiang, and Jilin) has formed in the central, western, and northeastern regions. Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanxi are not convergent. The coordinated development of these regions requires improving the levels of economic growth in the western and northeastern regions to give full play to the role of the Yangtze River Delta as a growth pole and its economic radiation capacity. An analysis of the influence mechanism and spatial spillover effects shows that industrial development and market vitality are the most important driving forces for economic growth. For the low-level club, service industry development, human capital, and resource consumption are also key factors for achieving sustained and stable economic growth.
