中国区域生产效率与西部经济发展研究

Studies on Regional Economic Growth and Production Efficiency in China

文章利用1998—2008年的省级面板数据,通过SFA模型估计了估算了中国各省和三大区域1998—2008年的TFP水平及其效率变化和技术进步指数,研究发现要素投入差异是我国地区差距的主要决定因素之一。在此基础上,文章认为西部在TFP方面要想和东部地区缩小差距在短期相当困难,西部能够缩小和东部地区经济差距的最优路径就是使自身经济更开放,突破路径依赖和锁定效应,建立以中期以制造业为核心并重心逐渐向服务业转移的长期经济发展体制,动态提高区域TFP以缩小与东部地区的TFP和经济差距,以达到共同发展建立和谐社会的目标。

This paper uses the panel data from 1998 to 2008 to analyze the TFP,efficiency change and technological advance of eastern,middle and western regions in China,the result is that the TFP is a major factor of the regional economic development gap.Based on the DEA model,this paper points out that it is very difficult to reduce TFP gap between the western region and the eastern region,the best way to reduce the economic development gap between the western region and the eastern region is to make the economy of the western region become more open and break the route dependence and the lock-in effect,establish the economic development strategy with the core of the service industry.
