摘要: 人工智能在推动技术进步与经济高质量发展方面具有重要作用,对缓解城市收缩具有潜在积极影响。基于2007—2023年中国287个城市面板数据,构建人工智能发展与城市收缩的统一分析框架,探讨两者的内在关系及作用机制。研究表明,人工智能发展显著缓解了城市收缩,该结论在经过内生性检验和稳健性检验后依旧成立。异质性分析表明,在收缩城市、“胡焕庸线”东南侧城市、外围城市及资源型城市中,人工智能发展对城市收缩的缓解效果更强。机制分析表明,人工智能发展通过促进城市人口回流、提升城市创新创业活跃度、推动产业结构升级,进而减缓城市收缩。据此,政策层面应聚焦于促进人口回流、提升创新创业活跃度、加快产业结构升级,以有效释放人工智能缓解城市收缩的潜能。

关键词: 人工智能, 城市收缩, 人口回流, 创新创业活跃度, 产业结构升级

Abstract: Atificial intelligence plays an important role in promoting technological progress and high-quality economic development, and has the potential to have a positive impact on alleviating urban shrinkage. Based on the panel data of 287 cities in China from 2007 to 2023, this paper constructs a unified analysis framework for the development of artificial intelligence and urban shrinkage to explore the inherent relationship and mechanism between the two. Research has shown that the development of artificial intelligence significantly alleviates urban shrinkage, and this conclusion still holds true after endogeneity and robustness tests. The heterogeneity analysis shows that in shrinking cities, cities on the southeast side of the Hu Huanyong Line, peripheral cities, and resource-based cities, the development of artificial intelligence has a stronger mitigating effect on urban shrinkage. The mechanism analysis shows that the development of artificial intelligence can slow down urban shrinkage by promoting the return of urban population, enhancing urban innovation and entrepreneurship activity, and promoting industrial structure upgrading. Based on this, the policy level should focus on promoting population return, enhancing innovation and entrepreneurship activity, and accelerating industrial structure upgrading to effectively unleash the potential of artificial intelligence to alleviate urban shrinkage.

Key words: artificial intelligence, urban shrinkage, population return, innovation and entrepreneurship activity, industrial structure upgrading
