Table 2_Talent agglomeration and urban inclusive green growth.docx Chenyang Guo (4852195) Lan Fang (5060246) Urban and Regional Planning not elsewhere classified green economy social inclusive sustainable development talent agglomeration urban inclusive green growth <p>Amid slowing global economic growth, the “demographic dividend” has diminishing returns, making it essential to leverage the “talent dividend” to achieve urban inclusive green growth (UIGG). Using panel data from 280 prefecture-level cities in China (2003-2023) and fixed-effect econometric model, this study examines the impact and mechanisms of talent agglomeration (Talagg) on UIGG. The findings show that: (1) Talagg significantly and directly promotes UIGG. (2) Heterogeneity studies show that the effect varies obviously by economic geography, city size, and city type. (3) Mechanism analyses identify two key pathways through which Talagg improves UIGG: green technology innovation and entrepreneurial activity. (4) Further analysis highlights synergistic effects between Talagg and industrial agglomeration, as well as labor marketization, which plays a crucial moderating role in enhancing UIGG. This study provides a new insight for tackling environmental challenges and social inequality in cities, offering policy implications for global emerging economies seeking to transition from traditional development models.</p> 2026-09-23T12:46:24Z Dataset Dataset 10.3389/frsc.2026.1869544.s001 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Table_2_Talent_agglomeration_and_urban_inclusive_green_growth_docx/33973237 CC BY 4.0
