AbstractThe separation between a corporate headquarters and its registered address is no longer a rare phenomenon, which not only exerts an important socioeconomic impact but also leads to deviations from reality in the conclusions of many studies that use the registered address as the location of corporate headquarters. We take Chinese A‐share listed companies as an example to investigate the interprovincial separation between headquarters and registered addresses and its formation process and use a logistic model to analyze the impact of company attributes on the interprovincial separation between headquarters and registered addresses. The results show that the companies with separate headquarters and registered addresses account for approximately one‐third of all listed companies; 177 companies have their headquarters and registered addresses in different provinces. These companies are usually headquartered in economically developed cities (such as Beijing and Shanghai), while their registered addresses are mainly located in general cities. Inconsistent interprovincial migration between headquarters and registered addresses is the main reason for the interprovincial separation of the two. The logistic model demonstrates that industry, organizational form, city level of the registered address, special treatment, and restructuring exert varying degrees of influence on the interprovincial separation between headquarters and registered addresses.

AbstractThe pledge of stock rights is a method for measuring the external horizontal connections of enterprises, which is more suitable to represent the city network compared with the vertical connections of enterprises. Meanwhile, it is greatly significant to express the relationships of regional spaces. The paper characterizes and explores the evolution of urban spatial structure with complex network research methods to enrich the relevant works on city networks in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2011 to 2017. The results are as follows: First, from 2011 to 2017, the pledge of stock rights among cities was enhanced significantly, and the trend of the city networks' characteristics become strengthened and more complicated. Second, cities in the Yangtze River Delta have relatively high connection values, however, cities in the western area are holding peripheral positions within the city network. Third, due to the advantages of economic agglomeration and radiation, the provincial capital have become the core nodes in the city network. Fourth, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Nanjing have dominant positions within city networks in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Particularly, Shanghai, as one of the leading financial centers in China, has a growing influence on other cities and gradually evolved into a regional growth pole city and the first core city.
