西部地区的经济创新与跨越式发展

The Economic Innovation and Development in Western China

西部开发是一项长期的战略任务,东西部的经济差距在短期内难以缩小。西部开发战略实施以来,西部地区的经济增长明显加快,2000———2001年,西部全社会固定资产投资年均增长14 9%,国内生产总值年均增长8 6%,均高于全国平均水平。但西部经济仍很落后,2001年,人均GDP和人均工业总产值,西部分别是全国平均水平的65%和45%。因此,要缩小东西部经济差距,西部地区必须通过经济创新实现跨越式发展。西部经济创新的内容主要包括:观念创新、制度创新、技术创新和市场创新。

It is a long-term strategy to develop the Western China. Compared with the economy in the East, there is a long way to go for the West. Since the practice of West China Development Strategy, there is a marked increase in the economic development in the West. During the year between 2000 and 2001, fixed assets investment increased by 14.9 percent and gross domestic product increased by 8.6 percent, both of which are higher than the national average level. However, the economy is still very backward in the West. In 2001, gross domestic product and gross value of industrial output per capita are 65 percent and 45 percent of the national average level respectively. Therefore, to shorten the distance in economy between the East and the West, there is no way for the West to go except to achieve developing in the striding way with the help of economic innovation. We need the innovation in the modes of thought, social system, technology and the market.
