Abstract: This study examines the impact of establishing national central cities on economic growth in China while considering technological innovation and regional differences. Using the multiperiod difference-in-differences method and the real GDP per capita metric, it finds that national central cities boost economic growth, especially in the eastern region of the country. Furthermore, technological innovation enhances this effect. The findings offer insights into the influence of national central cities and the role of technological innovation in driving economic progress.
