在区域经济发展中要正确运用“龙头”理论

Apply Properly the "Growth Centre Theory" to Regional Economic Development

非均衡规律是存在经济、社会的普遍规律,区域经济发展水平在空间分布上也表现为不均衡性,区域经济在运行过程中存在两种效应,即极化效应和扩散效应。"龙头"理论认为应优先发展经济极核地区(即"龙头"),然后通过核心区域的扩散效应,带动落后地区的经济发展。该理论对引导资本投向和促进区域经济发展方面起到了一定的积极作用。但是,在实际应用过程中也出现了许多偏差。针对该理论在应用过程中存在的问题,本文提出为了进一步缩小地区发展差距,加强区域间的协作与联合,在处理地区经济关系时,要正确应用"龙头"理论,并把"龙头"理论与网络理论有机地结合起来,采取适度倾斜——总体协调的地区经济发展战略,形成合理的地区经济运行机制。

The 'Imbalance Law' is universal in economy and society. The level of regional economic development is imbalanced spatially. Two effects are exerted on the regional economic operation, namely, the polarization effect and the proliferation effect. The 'Growth Centre Theory' holds that development priority should be given to the polarized region where its level of economic development is superior to that of undeveloped regions. Then the economic development of undeveloped regions will be spured on via the proliferation. This Theory has played an active role on guiding investment and promoting regional economic development. But during practical application to the Theory, some deviations have arisen. In view of the existing problems, the article advances the proper application of the 'Growth Centre Theory' to handling the regional economic relationship for the sake of narrowing the regional development gap and streng thening the regional cooperation and alliance. The Theory should be combined with Network Theory organicly. With appropriate inclination—overall coordination stratege of regional economic development carried out, a rational regional economic operation mechanism would be formed.
