Abstract Using the panel data of 1550 Counties (Cities) in China from 2005 to 2010, and the estimation method of system-GMM, we estimate the effects of county’s industrialization and urbanization influence on the agricultural economic growth in China. Our results show that, a county’s industrialization acts as an obstacle to the agricultural growth, but its urbanization favors it, and they doesn’t play the cooperative effect. Then, we find that a county’s industrialization and urbanization have a asymmetrical regional effect. The negative effect of a county’s industrialization is on the decline, while the positive effect of a county’s urbanization has a considerable rise.
