Abstract The paper uses the data from 2000 to 2010 of 18 local cities to build the dynamic panel data models, which are measured by economic density, distance from Chengdu and domestic labor market division. For building the dynamic panel data models, birth rate, foreign direct investment and fixed assets per capital are used as controlled variables. In order to avoid endogeneity and heterogeneity in the models, we use two-step system GMM estimation method, and then obtain some more accurate results. The result shows that urban labor productivity is positively correlated with economic density, distance to Chengdu and urban-rural labor markets division.
