Abstract:The main difference between the new generation of information technology industry and the traditional industry lies in its exponential growth mode and the characteristics of increasing marginal benefits. It is worth studying whether its spatial agglomeration and its factors are consistent with the development of traditional industries. This paper analyzes the formation mechanism of the new generation of information technology industry agglomeration from the two dimensions of government mechanism and market mechanism. Using the panel data of 29 provinces and cities across the country from 2010 to 2019, the Moran'I index is constructed, and the spatial data is selected. The Bin model conducts a spatial econometric analysis on the influencing factors of the new generation of information technology industry agglomeration. The results show that there is a positive spatial correlation in the agglomeration of the new generation of information technology industries, and government policies, human capital, innovation capabilities, related industries and town scale have played a role in promoting the agglomeration of the new generation of information technology industries. Through spatial self-examination, it is found that the financial industry and urbanization represented by higher returns have a crowding-out effect on the development of the new generation of information technology. The research conclusions provide a reference for the implementation of the "Digital China" strategy to fully consider the method and mechanism of the combination of the market and the government in the process of industrial policy formulation, and to follow the planning and layout of the digital economy center.
