Abstract Taking information economy as the research object, this paper examines the panel data of 11 cities in Zhejiang Province from 2004 to 2014. By analyzing the influencing factors towards spatial agglomeration of information economy, it then builds the model of their relationship with economic growth, followed by an analysis of it. The study finds that factors such as human capital, education investment, internet users, foreign investment have positive effects on agglomeration. Innovation capacity and mobile phone users bring negative impacts on agglomeration. After taking in economic growth as a controlled variable, the relationship does not change greatly. The relationship between spatial agglomeration of information economy and economic growth shows an inverted “N” pattern.
