经济高质量发展视阈下我国区域协调发展的政策效应评估

An Evaluation of Regional Coordinated Development Policy in China from the Perspective of High⁃quality Economic Development

评估区域协调发展的政策效应是实现区域一体化发展的重要保障。本文在对我国区域协调发展政策进行量化识别的基础上,实证检验我国区域协调发展政策的调控效果以及深层次调控机制。研究发现:(1)我国区域协调发展政策具有相对较强的空间指向,且重点作用于东部板块、西部板块以及东北板块。(2)目前我国区域协调发展政策大体上可以实现在保障经济发展效率的同时缩小区域经济发展差距的目标。从四大板块来看,区域协调发展政策能够显著缩小东部板块以及西部板块的区域差异,同时对东部板块、中部板块以及西部板块经济高质量发展具有相对较强的促进效应。(3)在区域协调发展政策调控下,东部板块以及西部板块重点通过抬升“腰部省份”或者“尾部省份”的经济发展水平以缩小板块内区域差距,中部板块内各个省份则呈现“齐头并进”的发展态势。

Evaluating the regulation effect of regional coordinated development is an important and necessary way for achieving integrated regional development.Based on the quantification of China’s regional economic coordinated development policy,this paper empirically tests the regulation effect and deep⁃seated regulation mechanism of China’s regional coordinated development policy.The results show that:(1)China’s regional coordinated development policy has relatively strong regional orientation,which is mainly toward the west,northeast and east regions.(2)At present,China’s regional coordinated development policy can basically achieve the goals of narrowing the regional economic development gap and maintaining the efficiency of economic development.From the perspective of the four regions,the regional coordinated development policy can significantly reduce the regional differences in the east and west regions.At the same time,it has a relatively large promoting effect on the high⁃quality economic development of the east,west and central regions.(3)Under the regulation of regional coordinated development policies,the east and west regions focus on reducing their respective internal gap by raising the economic development level of“waist provinces”or“tail provinces”,while the provinces in the central region show a trend of“going hand in hand”.
