制度因素与区域经济增长——基于中国地方数据的实证分析

Institution Factors and Regional Economic Growth——Empirical Analysis from Chinese Local Data

利用中国28个样本地区1992～2008年的面板数据,对制度因素与区域经济增长的关系进行了实证检验,发现制度因素对东部地区经济增长的解释程度最高,中部地区次之,西部地区最小,不同的制度因素在地区间表现出显著差异。因此,各地区应鼓励和保护私有产权,支持民营和外资企业的发展,为各类市场主体创造一个公平竞争的市场环境。在经济发展中,东部地区应逐渐减少政府干预,中部和西部地区可以保持适度的政府干预。

Analyzing the panel data from China＇s sample of 28 regions during 1992-2008,this paper finds that institutions have a greatest interpretation of economic growth for the eastern region,followed by the central region,the smallest for the western region.And different institutional factors also show significant difference impact in different regions.According to results of the analysis,it recommends that each region should continue to encourage and protect private property rights,encourage private and foreign-funded enterprises to development,and for all types of market players to create a fair competitive market environment.In government intervention in economic development,the eastern region should reduce it gradually,but the central,especially the western region can keep it appropriately.Meanwhile,central and western regions should use the opportunities of the rise of central China and the western development strategy respectively to speed up their economic development.
