Abstract: This paper investigates the influence and mechanism of border effects within a city on the coordinated development of the regional economy by combining a quasi-natural experiment in China's municipal districts border reorganization and satellite night-time light data. We find that border effects of municipal districts within a city matter significantly in the coordinated development of the regional economy. Further, restructuring district borders promotes the coordinated development of districts by improving the average level of public services. This study implies that borders within a city matter, and the border effect can be an effective tool to promote regional coordinated development in emerging economies.
