Agglomeration And Regional Disparity Study Of Regional Economic Growth Efficiency China

For the past few years, the rate of economic growth in China increases by double-digit rate, and the situation of economy and society changes tremendously. These achievements and performances was called "China Miracle". Meanwhile, many problems in the geographical space appears prominently:the transformation of spatial distribution in economic activity, the formation of "lump" characteristics in regional economics, the broaden of regional disparity and the geographical concertration of economic growth efficiency. Therefor, the problems in this process are as follows:firstly, What’s the specific mechanisms of spatial concertration of regional disparity and economic growth efficiency? Secondly, the "lump" concertration of regional economy and geographical concertration in spatial are distributed seemingly, are they just accidental distribution or they are necessarily hava a inner connection? Thirdy, the geographical concertration of economic growth efficiency, the "lump" characteristics in regional economic growth, and the formation of regional disparity, these three problems all are related to geography and spatial, in that way, what’s the function of geography and spatial? Therefore, we analyzed these problems that take shapes in the process of economic growth and embodiment in the spatial in the perspective of new spatial economics. Concretely, we analyze these problems in the following:Firstly, put forward the questions and literature review, including chapterl and chapter2. In chapter1, we introduced the study objectives and the significances, defined the concept of economic growth efficiency and regional disparity, illustrated the train of thought, contents, methods and technical route, also, pointed out the probable creation and shortcomings. In chapter2, we reviewed the literatures of regional disparity, economic growth efficiency and economic agglomeration, and the main purposes are find out the reasonable perspetive and theoretical support.Secondly, theoretical analysis, including chapter3. In chapter3, we established the framework of "division-externality-increasing returns-economic growth-regional disparity", also, we expounded the concreate mechanism.Thirdly, emperical study, including chapter4, chapter5and chapter6. In chapter4, we analyzed the general forming process of regional disparity in the perspective of non-coordinated agglomeration of factors and economy, combined the panel data of related provinces and years, tested the function of labor, capital and technology emperically, also, we decomposed the influence pattern and the space-time distribution of regional disparity. In chapter5, we applies the Sequential Malmquist-Luenberger index to measure China’s regional productivity and technical efficiency from1998to2011; Then put forword the factors may give rise to the efficiency agglomeration:economic-linkage, knowledge-linkage, returns to scale, and transportation conditions; then explored the directions and paterns of these factors by System Generalized Method of Moments(SYS-GMM). In chapter6, we tentatively analyzed the relation among factor input, economic growth efficiency and regional disparity by statistical analysis and dynamical distribution analysis; then, examined the short-term and long-term relationship among factor input, economic growth efficiency and regional disparity by Panel Data Unitroot Test, Panel Data Cointegration Test and Panel Data Error Correction Model; the main aim of these analysis are finding out the main factor that induce the regional disparity, factor input or economic growth efficiency? finally, we analyzed the further reasons that bring about the regional disparity and economic growth efficiency in the aspects of division, marketization and government intervention.Finally, conclusion and policy sugestions, including chapter7. Based on the summarization of study contents and coclusions, we put forward the management route and measures to reduce the regional disparity.Based on the studies mentioned above, the may conclusions are as follows:(1) division are the source of economic growth efficiency agglomeration and regional disparity.(2) knowledge spill-over and transportation cost have a great influence upon economic growth efficiency agglomeration and regional disparity.(3) there are an obvious geographical agglomeration of regional economic level, and the direct reason of regional disparity are the non-coordinated agglomeration of factors and economy.(4) there are an obvious geographical concertration of regional economic growth efficiency, and the technological progress are the main driving force of the economic growth efficiency, but a limited function of technological efficiency; also, an obviously conclusion are the convergence and spill-over phenomenon in provincial economic growth efficiency.(5) related to factors input, the economic growth efficiency are the main factors that influence the regional disparity in China. Based on the analysis and conclusions mentioned above, the simple method that reduce the regional disparity in China are as follows:promote the development of economic agglomeration furtherly, meanwhile, getting ready for the spatial spill-over of economy and efficiency, and the final results are the reshapment of economy and geography, in detail, the methods are rediscovering of "First Nature" and rebuilding of "Second Nature".
