Abstract

This paper empirically studies the finance agglomeration and regional finance development disparities in China based on the sample of 31 provinces from 1997 to 2009. This paper calculates the degree of finance agglomeration using different measures and compares the results. Also, this paper discusses the spatial dependence of finance industry and the evolution of it using Moral I test and Moral scatter plots. The results illustrate that finance industry does not show significant spatial dependence or agglomeration for the whole country, however, there exists some area, where finance industry has some kind of spatial dependence.
