Using a dynamic panel data spatial Durbin model, this paper aims to examine FDI spillover and impacts on urban productivity in the Y angtze R iver D elta ( YRD ) and the P earl R iver D elta ( PRD ). We find that FDI has positive impacts on local city's productivity but its spatial spillovers behave differently in the YRD and PRD . Spatial interactions cannot be neglected in urban growth; yet YRD and PRD demonstrates significant but opposite spatial growth effects. FDI accelerates the economic growth convergence in the YRD while slows down convergence in the PRD . Positive spatial spillover of productivity occurs in the YRD while negative spatial spillover occurs in the PRD . The results point to important policy implications for the two regions to attract FDI and promote urban development.
