Abstract: The development of regional economy depends on the regional central cities and the accumulation of human capital. Therefore,the construction of the central city becomes the growth pole of regional development. It plays a significant role in regional economic and social development,and human capital accumulation is the key to realize its functions. How does central city enable the human capital accumulation? In this paper,we establish spatial econometric models to explore the effect of the central city on human capital accumulation,from the aspects of economy,industry,education,employment and medical service. It is found that the industrial development,public expenditure,education and medical care have significant impacts on regional human capital accumulation. The impacts of central cities on regional human capital accumulation shows different mechanisms,some are accumulation, while others are spillover. Therefore, development strategies of central cities should be formulated to take into account both their own economic development and the interaction among cities,ultimately achieving common development.
