Then, we analyze the dynamic changes in the urban industrial land's total factor productivity (UILTFP) by using the Malmquist productivity index approach, and we examine the UILTFP's conver- gence. The results show that the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta have a higher UILUEs but show downward trends in UILTFPs. The other four zones, Beijing--rianjin-Hebei, Chengdu-Chongqing, Guanzhong-Tianshui and the Central Plains, show poorer UILUEs but have upward trends in UILTFPs. A significant excess supply of industrial land and labor exists in all six zones, and the zones in economically developed areas perform better in industrial output. The results of the convergence test do not support a-convergence but support condi- tional/3-convergence for all zones. These results indicate that the gaps in the UILTFP of in- dustrial land in all six zones, in fact, do not narrow, and the UILTFPs of cities will converge to their own steady states. The regression results of the influencing factors show that the ur- banization rate should be increased in the Pearl River Delta and reduced in Bei- jing-Tianjin-Hebei. The Yangtze River Delta and Chengdu-Chongqing should pay more atten- tion to the problem of industrial labor surplus, and the Pearl River Delta should reduce the proportion of industrial output. All zones should focus on improving the quality of the industrial economy and the land use intensity.展开更多
