借用规模理论发展及其应用研究

Study on the Development of Borrowed Size Theory and Its Application

借用规模是指小城市能够通过借用邻近大城市的规模获得发展机遇。自1973年阿隆索提出后经过二十余年才受到学界重视,对其展开一系列理论与实证研究,并获得较大进展。国内研究于2009年首次引进这一理论,发展至今,从理论梳理到实证研究都形成了一系列丰富的成果。文章从借用规模理论的产生与发展、借用规模理论的引进与应用两个方面分别对国内外已有研究进行综述,并总结了国内实证研究的四个特征,最后对未来研究发展提出三方面的展望。

Borrowed scale refers to the ability of small cities to borrow from the scale of neighbouring large cities to obtain development opportunities.It has taken more than twenty years since Alonso proposed it in 1973 for the theory to be taken seriously by academics,and a series of theoretical and empirical studies have been carried out on it,and significant progress has been made.This theory was first introduced into China in 2009,and since then,a series of rich results have been published from theoretical to empirical studies.This paper reviews the existing research at home and abroad from two aspects:the emergence and development of borrowed size theory and the introduction and application of borrowed size theory,and summarises the four characteristics of domestic empirical research.Finally,it prospects the research development in the future.
