Cordinated Development Of The Regional Finance Industry Under The Backdrop Of Regional Economic Integration Process Of The Yangtze Delta Area

Since the beginning of the 21th century, the global overall industrial structure has been transformed from a manufacturing industry dominated economy to service economy. In this, financial services industries as the main representative of the producer services sector are at the top of the world economy and with the increasingly fierce international competition, have become among pillar industries in many developed countries.Under modern market economic system, the rise of financial services industries represents a process of financialization of the economy and meanwhile regionalization of the financial industries themselves. Many empirical researches have shown that the financial service sector has played a key role in promoting growth of the regional economy, optimizing economic structure, and enhancing dynamics of overall economy. And more importantly, by and large, regional economic development differentiations are closely connected to change and spatial evolution of the regional finance industry. Therefore, reasonable spatial evolution and distribution of the regional finance industry is the foundation to meet the aim of optimization of financial resources allocation, and increasing upgrading of the industrial structure with the regional economic integration process.The Yangtze Delta Area is a region in China with fast growth rate, great potential and rapid development of regional economic integration process. However, cooperation of the financial industries between different cities starts late. Comparing with the rapid step of regional economic integration process, currently financial cooperation in the region has been just not enough and is restricted by difference of the basic condition, separated administration division, and individual supervision of the industries. Consequently, it is important to deepen up further study of cordinated development of the regional finance industry of the Yangtze Delta Area. Using theoretical and empirical analysis methods, this thesis discusses issues of cordinated development of the regional finance industry of the Yangtze Delta Area.Structurally, it contains four main parts:The first part (Chapter 1 and 2) includes introduction to and literature reviews of this research. It discusses mainly the notion and connotation of cordinated development of the regional finance industry, and then both the overseas and domestic research progress made in recent years in this regard. The second part (Chapter 3) involves the theory etical base of this. It analyzes relative theories of spatial evolution, influencial factors, the dynamic mechanism and locational modes of the regional finance industry by using the induction-analysis through a new economic geographic angle. The third part (Chapter 4) is the core part of this thesis. It probes into the present situation, general trend, characteristics of the spatial evolution process of the regional finance industry, under the backdrop of regional economic integration process of the Yangtze Delta Area, by using modeling analysis method. And then, it analyzes the interrelationship between growth of the financial industry and development of the regional economy. Finally, with market and government oriented point of views, it discusses the present situation and overall trend of cordinated development of the regional finance industry of the Yangtze Delta Area, with related problems restricting cordinated development of the regional finance industry of the Yangtze Delta Area. The forth part (Chapter 5 and Chapter 6) is concerned with countermeasures and the main conclusion of this research. In this, specifically, several ideas and suggestions have been put forward.There are two main innovation of this thesis:ⅰ) It analyzes relative theories of spatial evolution, influencial factors, the dynamic mechanism and locational modes of the regional finance industry, by using the relative theories and methods of new economic geography through the angle of regional economic integration.ⅱ) Using theoretical and empirical analysis methods, the thesis discusses issues of cordinated development of the regional finance industry of the Yangtze Delta Area, by using the middle angle of development of the regional finance industry, which is different from other researchers in home and abroad.
