中国循环经济发展的区域差异——基于因子分析法的研究

Regional Differences in the Development of Circular Economy in China:A Factor Analysis Approach

基于我国30个省、直辖市的18个指标,利用因子分析法对循环经济的发展进行区域间比较分析,结果表明我国循环经济的发展是非常不平衡的。经济发达的东部沿海地区的循环经济发展水平一般较高,而经济欠发达的中西部地区的循环经济发展水平一般较低。总体来看,循环经济的发展是建立在经济实力和技术水平之上的,各地区所处的经济发展阶段和所面临的问题是不同的,各地应因地制宜地发展循环经济,实现经济的可持续发展。

This paper applies factor analysis to a comparative analysis of the regional development of circular econ- omy in China with 18 indices of 30 provinces. The empirical results show that there are great regional differences in the development of circular economy in China. The development of circular economy in the eastern coastal region is relatively high while that of the western inland region is relatively low. Overall, the development of circular economy depends on the economic and technology conditions. As different regions are at different economic development stages and are faced with different problems, each region should develop circular economy in line with its own conditions so as to achieve sustainable economic development.
