中国城市规模效率的实证分析:1990-2001年

Urban Size Efficiencies in China:Empirical Studies in 1990 - 2001

本文利用卡里诺模型和1990-2001年期间的时间序列数据和横截面数据分析全国222个城市的城市聚集经济以及城市规模效率,并分析东中西部地区不同城市规模的城市化经济程度差异。本文发现,目前中国城市规模效率不一样,尤其是传统工业大城市的城市化经济并不明显,而新兴工业城市的城市化经济较明显。本文还发现特大城市和超大城市的城市规模效率并不明显,而大中小城市的城市规模效率较明显。并且, 东部地区小城市的城市规模效率较高,中部地区大城市的城市规模效率较高,西部地区特大城市的城市规模效率较高。

This paper use urban agglomeration economies to analyze urban size efficiencies in China. For this purpose, we use Carlino model, and the lime series data from 1990 to 2001 and cross-section data of 222 cities to analyze urban agglomeration economies. The result suggests that the scale efficiency varies in different cities; it is less significant in traditional large industrial cities than in newly developed ones, and it is less significant in metropolises than in relatively smaller cities. The results also suggest that cities with higher scale efficiency are those smaller ones in Eastern region, larger ones in Middle region and super large ones in Western region.
