Study On The Competition And Cooperation Relationship Among Regional Economy Units

Scholars from home and abroad have studied regional economy using different theories, view points and research perspective and gradually formed a specialized system of regional economic theory. At present, regional economic research in our country mainly focuses on three levels of scale. At the macroscopic level, the established regional development goal is the coordinated economic development of eastern, central, and western China, which is a topic worthy of a lot of attention in recent years. In the intermediate level, the urbanization always attracts full attention from scholars of regional economy in China. The focus of those research is which route Chinese urbanization should take. In the microscopic level, the county territory economy development and the non- agriculture evolution after the reformation and opening up policy received widespread attention from scholars of regional economy. These are considered the key questions which must be solved in the first 20 years of this century in order to build a comprehensive well-off society. Past research mainly concentrated on the macroscopic level and the surface characteristics of regional economy. However, these researches lacked focused studies.In light of the current state of the field as described above, this paper studies the competition and cooperation relationship within the regional economic unit using the system theory, method and regional economic theory. The original contributions of this paper are as follows:1. The dissertation originates the concept of the regional economy unit. The origination of this concept borrowed the idea of "facing the object" in computer science. It defines the different elements that make up the economic region as a regional economy unit, and defines the moving elements and the non-moving elements as the basic factors, then based on the analysis of these elements, this dissertation studies the competition and cooperation relationship in the regional economy unit.2. The paper studies the comprehensive competitive power of regional economy unit by applying gene analysis, clustering, etc, in thirteen case studies of cities within Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and putting the result into practice.3. The comparison and analysis of the three aspects: workforce, funding and technology formed the basis of the theory of cooperation between the regional economy unit. The theory was applied in the field research.4. Based on symbiosis theory, and taking technological elements as the objects, this paper analyzes the modes of competition and cooperation and establishes the following four categories: technology pervasion, technology output, technology input and mutual benefit.5. The paper establishes the mode of profit coordination with the government as the leading mode. The question of profit is the core question in the competition and cooperation relationship in the regional economy unit. This paper also establishes the mode of output-share based on Game Theory, and gives an analysis of the result over time.
