中国区域生产效率与经济发展差距研究

Studies on Regional Economic Growth and Production Efficiency Disparity in China

利用1998-2007年的省级面板数据,通过SFA模型利用超越对数函数估算了中国各省市区和三大区域历年的资本和劳动产出弹性、全要素生产率(TFP)水平及其效率变化,研究发现,东中西部的资本产出弹性大于劳动产出弹性。在此基础上对各省市区历年的全要素生产率水平进行了分析,结果表明,在1998-2007年间,东部的TFP增长率最高,中部地区高于西部地区。以上研究表明,TFP是造成区域社会经济发展差距扩大的主要因素之一。提高中西部全要素生产率生产效率和国家增加对中西部的投资可以缩小中国区域经济发展差异。

This paper uses the panel data of 29provinces,cities and autonomous regions in China and the SFA method to compare the production efficiency and development disparity of each province,city and autonomous region from 1998to 2007.This paper finds that the eastern region has the highest production efficiency;middle region is next,western region is lowest.This paper thinks that the major reason of the different production efficiency is because the east region has the highest technology efficiency,but the west region is poor.Therefore,the result is that if the middle and western region wants to reduce the economic development disparity among eastern region,middle and western region,the middle and western regions shall advance their production efficiency and the government shall make more investment into western and middle regions.
