| Comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of urban agglomeration has great strategic importance for the optimization of national spatial development structure, the construction of urban system, coordinated development of regional economy and strategic process of China's new urbanization.The Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China pointed out clearly that the future urban construction of our country must follow the objective law of urban devellopment, which means that urban construction is based on big cities and focusing on small and medium-sized cities. The urban constructions aims to form a big cities group so that it could promote a coordinated development among big cities, medium-size cities and small cities.Relying on main functional region planning, the government should improve urbanization layout, promote the development of urban agglomeration and strengthen the scientific management of urbanization. It is a great strategic choice for the promotion of China's urbanization.Some statistic Data show that the urban agglomeration in the national economy has become an increasingly key role in the development of society, and it also has become basic platform of China's regional economic development. As a large amount of economic resources gradually gathered in urban areas, how to distribute resource efficiently in various areas, dissolve the economic conflict, realize the coordinated development among the cities group is particularly important.The existing management systems and mechanisms in China, such as official performance appraisal and fiscal decentralization, has promoted regional economic growth as well as intensified competition between different regions, especially in the regions containing several cities groups. The trend of fierce competition, similar industrial structure, vicious competition, few cooperation between neighbor areas and low efficiency of resource allocation has become severe challenges for the theory research on urban agglomeration development. The competition disorder problem among the sub-region of the urban agglomeration and how to design an effective mechanism have become a major topic in the study of the urban agglomeration development.Papers combine the development process of the world's five urban agglomerations, analyzes the development characteristics of the world's major urban agglomerations, focused on the different modes of urban agglomerations governance in developed countries, summed up the experience with a certain guiding significance for the practice of urban agglomerations governance to our country. In the five urban agglomerations mentioned in this article, the authors also found numerous competing issues exists between the neighbor regions, such as tax policy interaction issues between the United States cities, imbalance competition between European cities, vicious competition issues of London Borough, national spatial development issues of Japan and so on. Through in-depth study of these urban agglomerations development and governance model, found that some of the measures and the method which taken by these urban agglomerations dealing with inter-city competition and cooperation problem has certain reference and enlightenment to China:First, give full play to the role of the market, let the market become the dominant force in the allocation of resources; second, strengthen regional development plan; Third, emphasis misplaced on regional development; Fourth, the establishment of special agency to coordinate regional interests; Five, moderate adjustment of administrative divisions and so on.Also in this paper,the development process and current co-opetition behavior of China's several major urban agglomerations are presented.Overall,China's regional competition can be divided into four stages——the brother competition before reform and opening,the local protectionism in the80s,the policy competition in the late90s and the omnibearing and multi-level competition at present stage.Also the paper summarizes some common urban agglomeration internal competition at present stage,including foreign investment competition, labor resource competition, development orientation competition, tax competition, local protectionism and so on.In the aspect of the cooperation in the city group region,original economic system has been broken after reform and opening in China,so regional cooperation mechanism needs to be reestablished.The Regional Economic and Technology Cooperation Organization,which was set up in the 80s,plays an important role in promoting interlocal horizontal economic union.With many years of development,the level of China's regional cooperation are improving constantly.This paper summarizes the typical cooperative behavior in the present internal area of city group in China as well,including regional infrastructure construction,regional industrial division and cooperation, economic cooperation zone construction.In general,there are not only a large number of competition behavior but also some cooperation in China's urban agglomeration internal.However because there exist some institutional mechanisms,like official assessment of selection and fiscal decentralization,there is countless malignant competition but little cooperation among sub regions in the urban agglomeration internal.To this end,China's a part of urban agglomeration have established regional coordinating organization in succession to coordinate regional competition and cooperation behavior,such as Circum-Bohai-Sea Region Cooperation Mayor Joint Committee,Yangtze River Delta City Economic Coordination Committee,Pan Pearl River Delta9+2Regional Cooperation Organization.But the troubling fact is that some serious problems,like benefiting themselves at others' expense,market segmentation and local protectionism,remain between nabes in the urban agglomeration internal at this present,and these regional coordinating organizations cannot achieve their original intention.To study the problem of competing disordered among internal sub-regional areas of urban agglomeration, this paper constructed the promoted game model of two centers in urban agglomeration. by solving the symmetry of the Nash equilibrium, and make comparative static analysis, this paper raises behavior inference inside the subregion "positive competition" and " passive cooperation",namely:With the improvement that the regional competition affects the local cities's economic growth, the competition among the governments tends intensely; whereas inter-regional cooperation improves influence of economic growth in of other cities, the government cooperation become more negative.To verify that the inference, we use panel data2000-2011Beijing and other9cities and select regional specialization level, convenience of inter-city transportation as variables to represent the cooperative behavior; and select growth of regional labor force, foreign direct investment as variables represent competition behavior, verify the significance of the four variables that promote the economic growth of local city, meanwhile we bring these four variables space lags into the model, testing the role of these variables on economic growth of other cities in urban agglomerations, and to match the performance of government action. The results showed that the behavior of the government in the capital competition,labour competition and construction of transport facilities between the cities matches the results of three different models very well, and behavior of the government in terms of regional division can also match with the one Empirical results of time-fixed settings. Overall, the empirical results and analysis of existing data can better support the proposed inference that "positive competition and negative cooperative".What are the consequences while "positive competition" and "passive cooperation" behavior generally exist China's cities? The sixth chapter researches the problems of competition about industry transfer between cities by building a dynamic game model which has two cities and a large enterprise. Through comparative static analysis, the article finds that increase of timeliness of transfer enterprises will reduce the rounds of government and enterprise bargaining while the governments simply improve the concession will not reduce rounds of bargaining. When transferring enterprise timeliness is low and the government concessions range is larger, the rounds of bargaining approach infinity, which caused the rent dissipation. This study shows that competition among cities causes rent dissipation directly, but the root reason is that the government target selection and city development interests are not completely coincident."Rent dissipation" includes tax cuts and financial transfer payments or subsidies to enterprise. The consequences of "positive competition" and "passive cooperation" among cities are borne by residents.To avoid the loss of social welfare by the "positive competition" and "passive cooperation" behavior and promote "healthy competition" and "active cooperation" posture formed in the inner city group, This paper considers that the following aspects should be thought in building urban agglomeration of competing mechanisms:Firstly the legal basis for the construction of the mechanism:promote the development of the Convention on the development and introduction of urban agglomerations, encourage urban agglomeration internal local government cooperation agreement, promote the development of urban agglomerations planning and implementation. Secondly, establish internal coordination mechanisms, future management of urban agglomeration areas should be set at different levels by various regulatory agencies, at the national level should be set to the central city group coordinated team, the regional level urban agglomeration integrated and coordinated management committee and the Coordination Committee professionalism should be set, should also improve the coordination and management of complementary organizations. Thirdly, financial security mechanisms, rationalize the relationship between central and local financial powers, establish vertical and horizontal transfer payment system, establish "tax legal" principles, such as the reform of the budget system.Last, improve the incentive and restraint mechanisms, should encourage the implementation of the main constraints to participate object, environmental conditions, targets, implementation and ways to start and establish an incentive-compatible incentive system as soon as possible.In this paper, based on existing assessment of official selection system, constructing a dynamic game model of promotion, researching problems among the sub-region of the urban agglomeration of competition in China, putting forward the urban agglomeration "positive competition, negative cooperation" internal behavior inference, and empirical research. Multi-stage dynamic game model is established, then explore the urban agglomeration "positive competition, negative cooperation" internal behavior of the impact of social welfare, the "rent dissipation" conclusion. To promote the urban agglomeration of China internal sub-regions to form new order of the "positive, cooperative, benign competition", based on the above analysis results, this article from the legal basis, internal coordination, several aspects, such as financial security, incentive and constraint to build urban agglomeration mechanism of internal competition behavior. According to this article research on the urban agglomerations of China internal competition behavior between sub-regional, combining the experience of the world urban agglomeration governance practices, putting forward to promote the urban agglomeration of China internal coordinated development of regional policy recommendations, mainly includes:straighten out the relationship between the government and the market; Deepening the internal integration of urban agglomeration; Building a modern industrial system, strengthening the regional industry division of labor; Formulating plans for the development of urban agglomeration and realize regional dislocation development; The introduction of green GDP, strengthen economic cost accounting, improving the official examination system; Breaking the regional segmentation, establishment of regional coordination management of authoritative institution, etc. |
