| Resource-niche (hereinafter abbreviated as "RN") is a new concept which reflects particular relations of economic subject and resource space. Generally speaking, so-called RN, is a portion utilized, occupied and adapted actually or potentially by an economic system (economic subject) in the resource space in a broad sense.21st century marks the dawn of a new century of competition and development. Facing the common challenges and opportunities, every Chinese local government needs to grasp the key RN factors affecting and deciding regional economic level of development and to understand the status, superiority and inferiority of RN. To realize sustainable development of regional economy, every region needs cultivating actively the key RN factors influencing on regional economic level of development, as well as adjusting and perfecting original development strategies.On the basis of theoretical analysis, the study is developed strictly by empirical test research model.Firstly, through introducing general RN theory, the paper defines regional resource-niche (hereinafter abbreviated as "RRN"): a fraction which is utilized, occupied and adapted actually or potentially by a certain regional economic system in the resource space in a broad sense. Furthermore, the theoretical premise of RRN analysis-regional chaos system can be presented, which means that RRN is a dynamic system, and it is a coupling of every branch RN system. Every branch RN system and its internal factors contribute to regional comprehensive RN directly or indirectly. On the basis of this foundation, the paper puts forward basic analysis frame for RRN: 'RRN= {regional hard RN, regional soft RN}Hard RN={human RN, capital RN, natural resources RN, infrastructure RN, location RN,}Soft RN={technology RN, information RN,}Secondly, to the convenience of studying the relations of RRN and localeconomic development level (hereinafter abbreviated as "LEDL") based on measure analysis, following the systematic, scientific, feasible and maneuverable principles and choosing 13 variables including a quantity of the labors to constitute the indicators system for measuring RN, as well as samples of 31 areas from Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Neimenggu, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, Shannxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia and Xinjiang, etc., this thesis measures RRN and every branch RN in every regipn Ly factor analysis. The results indicate that the top ten in the ranking of china's regional comprehensive RN are Beijing, Guangdong, Tibet, Shandong, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Hubei, Liaoning and Fujian. The ranking of every branch RN sees in table 4-6 in detail. The results of RRN ranking coincide with the status of regional economy in china. Furthermore, results mentioned above show that in branch RN systems, capital and technology RN contribute most to regional comprehensive RN.Thirdly, the LEDL can be directly influenced and decided by the exploitation and utilization of resources. The strict theoretical analysis and empirical test demonstrate: there is positive correlation between RRN and LEDL as a whole; in branch RN systems which compose regional comprehensive RN, human RN, capital and technology RN play dominant roles in LEDL.Finally, on the basis of related conclusions, RN countermeasures for sustainable development of regional economy have been put forth.Some new ideas and breakthroughs can be brought forward based on this study and predecessors' works:1 .Build a new analysis frame. Because of many difficulties in the definition of RN, the paper adopts systematic analysis method and makes creatively combination of the key RN indicators, so as to provide relatively steady frame for the analysis.2.Devebpment a new indicator system. According to the mentioned analysis frame, it provides concrete basis for measuring RRN.3.Apply a new research method. Factor analysis... |
