西部金融发展与区域经济差距——基于面板数据的实证分析

Western Financial Development and Regional Economic Disparities——An Empirical Analysis Based on Panel Data

本文以中国西部大开发战略实施以来东部、中部和西部地区金融与经济发展的数据为样本进行分析。分析发现,金融发展与经济增长之间存在强相关关系,但是金融发展与经济增长的关系表现出明显的区域性差异。西部地区由于金融发展相对滞后,对于经济增长的制约作用较为明显。根据研究结果,作者提出了加快西部金融发展,促进地方经济增长,进一步缩小区域差距的政策建议:做好区域金融体系的选择;发展区域金融货币政策;完善区域金融组织体系;构建区域金融市场体系;实现区域金融与经济政策的协调配合。

This paper＇s analysis is based on the sample data of the financial and economic development in the eastern, central and western regions since the implementation of the strategy of developing western China. The result of the analysis indicates that there is a strong correlation between financial development and economic growth, but the correlation shows significant regional differences. Because the financial development in the western regions is lagged, its affects to constraint economic growth are obvious. According to the result, the authors put forward policy recommendations to speed financial development in the western regions, to promote local economic growth and therefore to narrow the gap between regions： choosing correct regional financial system, developing regional financial and monetary policies, improving regional financial organization system, building regional financial market system, achieving the coordination between regional financial policy and economic policy.
