Spatial Correlation Analysis of Intelligent Development and Human Capital: Evidence for Spillover Effects

Prior to employing the spatial Dobbin model to examine the potential spillover impact of intelligent development, Table 11 presents the Moran index of the discordance between intelligent development and human capital across three spatial correlation models: the weight matrix of geographical proximity, geographical distance, and economic distance. Across all three spatial correlation models, the Moran index of the two variables exhibits a statistically significant positive correlation, indicating a need to investigate the spatial spillover effect.
