中原经济区城市经济增长趋同性研究

Convergence of Urban Economic Growth in the Central Plains Economic Area

1996—2010年中原经济区经济增长过程的实证分析表明,在考察期内,中原经济区的人均GDP增长总体上不存在σ趋同和绝对β趋同。在引入工业化水平、劳动力投入、人口增长率、固定资产投资、财政支出等控制变量后,中原经济区28个城市经济增长满足条件β趋同。其中,工业化水平和劳动投入对经济增长有促进作用,而固定资产投资、政府财政支出、人口增长对经济增长具有阻碍作用。因此,在建设中原经济区时,采取有针对性的分区调控措施才能够有效促进整个区域经济的协调发展。

The empirical study of economic growth from 1996 to 2010 showed that there existed no o- convergence and absolute β convergence in the growth of per capita GDP in the Central Plains Economic Area on the whole. However, when the five factors such as the level of industrialization, labor input, population growth rate, fixed assets investment, and public expenditure were taken into consideration, there existed conditional β convergence in the economic growth of 28 cities in the Central Plains Economic Area. The level of industrialization and labor input promoted the economic growth while the others blocked the economic growth. Therefore, in the construction of the Central Plains Economic Area, proper measures could effectively promote the harmonious development of regional economy.
