基于空间知识溢出的中国区域经济协作发展研究框架

通过对区域知识存量测度、技术差距以及空间知识溢出方面的研究,本文对空间知识溢出与中国区域经济增长的相关性进行归纳总结,从而构建基于空间知识溢出的中国区域经济增长的研究框架,提出相应的研究内容和研究技术路线,为该领域进一步的深入研究提供指导。     

从区位选择到空间集聚的逻辑演绎——探索集聚经济的微观机理

现代区域经济学和空间经济学缺乏相应的微观基础,无法从微观主体的区位决策演绎到空间集聚.本文旨在探索个体选址行为到实现空间集聚的内在机制,并基于空间互补视角探讨了空间集聚的条件--自然的抑或人为造成的空间互补利益可以加速空间集聚,并使之在这一区位形成维持和锁定效应.     

基于GIS空间分析法的广东省经济发展区域差异

选取广东省各地市1990年、1995年和2000—2004年7个年份的人均GDP数据,采用GIS空间分析法对经济发展区域差异进行了研究。通过计算各地市人均GDP的空间自相关系数Moran’s I,结果表明其经济发展具有强烈的空间自相关,揭示了经济发展区域差异正在逐年增大,经济发展存在着明显的空间二元结构。最后通过对各研究年份空间联系局域指标(LISA)的分析,揭示了经济发展区域差异的时空变化特点。     

Applying Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to Environmental and Resource Economics

Many of the analyses undertaken byenvironmental and resource economics areintimately concerned with spatial variations.This article examines the contribution whichGeographical Information Systems (GIS) mayprovide in incorporating the complexities ofthe spatial dimension within such analyses. Thepaper introduces the reader to the types ofdata handled by a GIS and overviews thepractical functionality offered by suchsystems. A brief literature review issupplemented by a number of more detailedapplications illustrating various GIStechniques which may be of use to the appliedenvironmental or resource economist.     

Growth, distance to frontier and composition of human capital

We examine the contribution of human capital to economy-wide technological improvements through the two channels of innovation and imitation. We develop a theoretical model showing that skilled labor has a higher growth-enhancing effect closer to the technological frontier under the reasonable assumption that innovation is a relatively more skill-intensive activity than imitation. Also, we provide evidence in favor of this prediction using a panel dataset covering 19 OECD countries between 1960 and 2000 and explain why previous empirical research had found no positive relationship between initial schooling level and subsequent growth in rich countries.     

转型时期中国区域空间结构重组探论

区域空间结构重组是任何区域在经济、社会大转型时期的重大战略问题，也是区域经济学、空间经济学、生产力经济学、地理学、社会学等学科在转型时期共同研究的热点课题。自20世纪90年代中期以来，我国全面进入社会、经济大转型时期，区域空间结构重组研究成为目前经济学界和地理学界共同关注的焦点。在特定的国际国内背景下，探索区域空间结构重组理论的创新并将其指导我国区域空间结构重组的实践，是学界的新任务。     

区域空间结构重组:理论基础、动力机制及其实现

区域空间结构重组是社会经济大转型时期重要任务之一。通过对空间结构惯性、区域发展与空间结构的互动关系等理论问题的探讨，明确了区域空间结构重组的被动性和阶段性等一般规律；八大动力机制的系统分析为空间结构重组提供了理论依据；区域空间结构组成的五大要素的优化是实现结构重组的有效途径。     

20世纪90年代武汉城市土地利用结构变动特点及动力分析

I.IntroductionUrbanization is a process that the rural population becomesurban residents,and the rural scenery becomes urban scen-ery(Xu,1997).The rate of the population’s urbanization canbe measured with a criterion or some index(Chen,1999).However,the changes of urban scenery cannot be explainedby some simple indexes because its changes are verycomplex.Thus,in the academic field,some scholars haveexplored the scenery transition,and found urban land-use isa favorite index to be used,becaus…     

Global inequality and international trade

The paper analyses the effect of widespread trade liberalisationon global income inequality. The analysis of the trend in globalinequality during 1981–97, presented in the first partof the paper, shows that the apparent growth of income inequalityamong countries conceals a process of convergence. Some developingcountries achieved significantly faster economic growth thanthe advanced industrialised countries and, though small in number,they actually account for a majority of the population of thedeveloping world. Thus international inequality (i.e., the inequalityof distribution of per capita incomes among the world's population)in fact declined even though the inter-country income inequalityincreased. The analysis in the second part of the paper shows(i) that while improved trade performance did have a stimulatingeffect on growth performance of countries, trade liberalisationhad extremely varied effects on trade performance across countries,and (ii) that the distribution of benefits and costs of tradeliberalisation across countries has been such as to reduce internationalinequality without affecting inter-country inequality.
