Crossing The River Collaborative Research In The Development Of Jiangsu

The inter-regional economic cooperation comes into being with the development of social economy. Because of the inequality of resource endowments, there are varied comparative advantages and differences in economic growth among different regions. This inequality, furthermore, causes the inter-regional division of labor. In order to better off all the regions, every effort should be made to conduct inter-regional economic cooperation by using respective comparative advantages and the aid of governmental coordination.Jiangsu Province, one of China's most powerful provinces in economy, can be divided into three separate economic regions, that is the Southern, the Northern, and the Central Region. Through the comparison of economic growth among the three regions, major economic criteria of the Central Region are found lower than the provincial average. Located on the side of Yangtze River, and endowed with better regional advantages, the Central Region is a bridge connecting the Southern Region and the Northern Region.
