西部大开发对我国区域经济增长收敛性的影响

The Influence of Western Development on Convergence of China's Regional Economic Growth

利用系统广义矩估计的动态面板数据模型分析西部大开发对我国区域经济增长及西部地区经济增长收敛性的影响,结果表明:实施西部大开发前,我国的区域经济增长存在着条件β收敛,而西部大开发后,区域经济增长由原来沿着均衡路径向稳态发展转变为发散性的增长;同时,西部地区各省经济增长也呈现较为明显的发散迹象。可见,西部开发战略改变了我国区域经济增长的态势,西部地区逐渐成为引领中国经济增长的新动力。

In this paper,we use the system-GMM dynamic panel data model to analyze the impact of western development on convergence of China's regional economic growth and western regional economic growth.The results show that before the implementation of western development,China's regional economic growth has the conditional beta convergence,while after the western development,the regional economic growth changes from stable development of original equilibrium path to volatilized development,meanwhile,the economic growth of each province in western region shows obvious volatilized sign.Thus,western development strategy changes China's regional economic growth situation and western region gradually becomes the new impetus to lead China's economic growth.
