Economic growth’s spatial autocorrelation in the west area is analyzed through global spatial autocorrelative Moran’s I test and local spatial autocorrelative LISA model. Spatial lag model of industrial concentration and economic growth in the west area is set up. Relationship between industrial structure and economic growth is studied. Results show that there is a spatial correlation in the economic growth of China’s western regions. Industrial agglomeration in the western regions has a positive effect on economic growth. The concentration of practitioners and the level of urbanization may enhance economic growth, yet spatial limitation will be a longer distance and a worse effect.
