The Measurement and Comparative Analysis on Regional Financial Development Level in China——Based on the Provincial Panel Data from 2004 to 2013

如何界定和测度金融发展水平仍存在一定争议。基于世界银行主张的基本概念框架,结合综合开发研究院提出的指标体系,构建区域金融发展水平综合评价体系,并用因子分析法对我国30个省(市)2004—2013年金融发展水平进行测度与排名。测算结果显示:从整体来看,东、中、西部金融发展呈现出明显的不平衡;从各省(市)来看,其金融发展水平亦呈现出不平衡的特点,这一特征在西部表现尤为明显;从综合排序来看,各省(市)总体变化不大,绝大部分东部省份排名靠前,中部省份排名偏后。根据各区域金融发展公因子得分可知,中西部各省提高金融发展整体水平的关键在于提高金融效率、完善金融市场。
