近年来中国地区差距的变化趋势

Analysis on the Trend of Regional Income Disparity in China

改革开放以来,我国的地区差距经历了一个先缩小后持续扩大的历程。与20世纪90年代相比,近年来我国的地区差距发展趋势出现了一定的变化,2000—2004年,我国的地区差距仍然在持续扩大,但扩展的速度比20世纪90年代有所减缓,2004年出现了地区差距缩小的迹象。本文考察了地区差距变化的决定因素,发现中国地区经济存在条件收敛性,同时也存在促使地区差距持续扩大的因素,通过对地区经济增长进行分解,本文分析了多种因素对地区差距发展变化的贡献。

In this paper, we find that after the long period of continuously increasing of regional income disparity, the pace of regional income disparity widen has been slowed down step by step after 2000. By examining the economic convergence and regional growth in the period of 1990-2004, we find that there is an evidence of conditional convergence, and there are some factors contributed to the development of regional economic growth. Then we decomposed the regional growth rate to find out the contribution of each factor to the development of regional income disparity.
