Abstract: Differenting from the fixed paradigm of existing research on agglomeration issues, this paper puts forward the concept of “inducible agglomeration” based on whether there is government intervention,and builds indicators to measure the intensity of government-induced agglomeration, and measures the index with the data of China’s industrial enterprises database. Then, combining theoretical deduction and empirical research, this paper examines the resource misallocation channels that government-induced agglomeration affects economic growth. In the part of theoretical analysis, this paper differentiates the two situations of “active agglomeration” and “inducible agglomeration” to deduce, and puts forward the theoretical hypothesis that government-induced agglomeration affects resource mismatch and thus economic growth. The empirical part makes a textual research on the theoretical hypothesis from the macro-perspective and micro-enterprise level. The results show that: first, government-induced agglomeration has distinct regional heterogeneity.Concretely, in areas with high level of economic development, government-induced agglomeration has a positive effect on economic growth,and also, government-induced agglomeration is more effective in areas with high mismatch of resources, and its impact on economic growth is greater in areas with high mismatch of capital than in areas with high mismatch of labor. The micro-level arguments also support the above conclusions. Secondly, the enterprises in development zones do have advantages over those in non-development zones in reducing resource mismatch and economic growth, but the advantages are relatively weak, and the TFP of enterprises in development zones is uneven. Both of them may be the reasons for the negative effect of government-induced agglomeration on the whole. Thirdly, the case analysis shows that the economic growth in the central region is more allocated to the enterprises with larger TFP, which effectively promotes the regional economic growth, but the backward or low TFP enterprises survive in the market, which also leads to the urgent need to promote the optimization of business environment in the central region. Fourthly, the scale of enterprises cluster in the park, which includes all kinds of factors, still promotes the regional economic growth, which emphasizes that the government intervention needs to strengthen the effectiveness.
