“…The "push-pull theory" of population migration alludes to the factors that attract immigrants, with the desire to improve their lives, to reside in new places [37,38]. In line with the coordinated development of urban agglomerations, the pulling force measures the pulling effect of a relatively "strong city" on a "weak city" [39].…”

Globally, all countries regard the development of economic zones around basins as the focus and main axis of national economic construction. The economic development of basin areas must consider the constraints of environmental protection, which requires local governments to adopt a coordinated development approach to the green economy. The Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River Basin and will be built into a growth pole for China’s economic growth. This paper uses the panel data of 16 cities in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle from 2005 to 2019 and measures the level of coordinated development of the green economy among cities. Using fixed effect regression models, this paper identified the factors driving the coordinated development level of the urban green economy. The results show that (1) the overall trend of coordinated development of green economy in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle is enhanced; (2) the pulling force includes the similarity of economic agglomeration and regional openness, the resonance force includes the similarity of traffic and industrial structure, the pushing force comes from the central city; (3) in the urban agglomeration with double centers, the cooperation and competition between two “pole” cities may coexist.

“…16 Among others, Autor et al (2013) use a shift-share IV to investigate the consequences of the "China shock" on labor markets. Peri, Shih, and Sparber (2015) focus on the impact of foreign workers on native's wages while Imbert et al (2018) use a shift-share IV strategy to estimate the causal effect of rural-urban migration on production in China. Bombardini and Li (2020) study the impact of trade expansion on local pollution and health outcomes in China too.…”

We estimate the causal impact of wage variations on commuting distance of workers. We test whether higher wages across years lead workers to live further away from their working place. We use employer–employee data for the French Ile-de-France region (surrounding Paris), from 2003 to 2008, and we deal with the endogenous relation between income and commuting using an instrumental variable strategy. We estimate that increases in wages coming from exogenous exposure to trade activities lead workers to increase their commuting distance and to settle closer to the city of Paris historical center. Our results cast novel insights upon the causal mechanisms from wage to spatial allocation of workers.
