This research examines the impact of urban rail transit (URT) on economic agglomeration. Initially, forty cities that have opened URT by the end of 2019 in mainland of China are selected as the study subjects. Subsequently, this study gathers panel data of the cities from 2010 to 2019 including the extent of URT, economic agglomeration and control variables. Finally, a non-spatial panel data model and four spatial econometric models are established. The estimate results indicate that URT exerts a positive impact on economic agglomeration. Furthermore, the ability of URT to promote economic agglomeration is greater in the tertiary industry than in the secondary industry.
