The Economic Role Of The Bridge Transport And Related Policy Research

New Eurasia Continental Bridge is stretching over three great economic regions in China's eastern, central and western parts. As the artery and basis for economic growth of 10 provinces along the Continental Bridge, NECB links up raw materials market, energy sources market, manufacturing market and consumptive market. It also plays an indispensable role in driving the economy development along the economic belt. At the turn of the century, with the third generation of China's leadership putting forward the 'strategy for the grand-scale development of China's western region', our government has clarified important policies on pushing forward the great development of north-western China through giving full play to the role of selected central cities and on the support of this land bridge communication artery. Today, at the time of the strategy for the grand-scale being implemented, this paper primarily tests the relationship between Continental Bridge transportation and its economy through quantitative analysis, which can proof the dependability and feasibility of the 'point-line' development theory. It also can provide some quantitative advice for all grades of states government and enterprises, especially for the transportation and commercial branches to make decision and to take forecast. Another emphasis of this article is to study and explore strategy and policies of Continental Bridge transportation development as well as policy proposals for promoting the economic growth of the whole region, which has realistic meaning to substantiate the grand-scale development of China's western region and to promote the coordinated development of China's regional economics. The whole article is divided into four chapters, Chapter three and Chapter four being made the main body thereof.The contents of this paper are listed as follows:The first chapter illustrates the crucial role of transportation played in driving the economy of the regions along the Continental Bridge to grow.The second chapter analyzes the objective conditions of the economic belt along Continental Bridge in detail, then disserts that there is an important strategic advantage and position of this economic belt in China's regional economy development.The third chapter tests the relationship between Continental Bridge transportation and its economy through quantitative analysis. Selecting five indexesto stand for the bridge transportation and economy, we construct the economic model by means of the up-to-date Time Serial Analysis. Firstly, to test the stabilization of these indexes with prevalent methods of unit root. Secondly, to find their relativity and to analyze whether the relativity is con-integration relationship (namely the long dynamic equilibrium relation). Thirdly, to make further research about the relationship between Continental Bridge transportation and its economy by strength of Granger test which is usually used by foreign economic experts . Finally, to summarize and evaluate the results received from the models. All the statistic operation is principally processed by the soft EXCEL and SPSS.At the beginning of the fourth chapter, we analyze the current new situation of world economy and Asia-Europe regional economy to point out that the new situation offers the New Eurasia Continental Bridge a good opportunity. Then we emphasize on the development strategy of the Bridge transportation as well as the aims and measures to achieve it. At the end of this chapter, we insist that promoting the development of Continental Bridge area need to adopt a series of special policies for industry, finance, tax, environment and system innovation. Around these aspects we put forward some major policy proposals.Wei Yanli (Industrial Economics) Directed by Professor Qu Linchi...
