Abstract Based on panel data from 282 prefecture-level cities in China from 2008 to 2022, this study uses a multi-period difference-in-differences approach to explore the impact of urban agglomeration development on urban economic resilience. There are following findings: (1) Urban agglomeration development significantly enhances urban economic resilience, a conclusion that holds after a series of robustness tests; (2) Mechanism tests indicate that urban agglomeration development improves urban economic resilience by promoting regional labor and capital agglomeration, while the positive impact of technology agglomeration is mainly reflected in more mature urban agglomerations such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the Yangtze River Delta regions, with relatively weaker effects in other urban agglomerations; (3) Further analysis suggests that the effect of urban agglomeration development on enhancing the economic resilience of medium-sized cities and peripheral cities is more pronounced, while for large cities and central cities, which already possess strong risk resistance capabilities, the role of urban agglomeration development is limited. The study confirms the significant contribution of urban agglomeration development in promoting coordinated regional development and resisting external shocks.
