品牌价值建设与区域经济增长差异的实证研究

随着品牌的发展,品牌在区域经济发展过程中发挥着越来越重要的作用。利用我国东中西部地区2004—2009年的省际面板数据,对三大区域的品牌与经济增长的关系进行比较研究。研究结果表明,品牌与区域经济增长之间存在着显著的相关关系,且对东中西部地区经济增长的影响有显著差异,各地区品牌发展的不同是导致中国区域经济发展不均衡的重要因素之一。因此,各地区应重视品牌价值建设,实施品牌发展战略,以品牌发展带动区域经济协调、快速发展。     

区域环保投资与经济可持续发展研究——基于我国区域面板数据比较分析

低碳环保下,环保投资对区域经济可持续发展影响存在差异。本文采用面板数据研究我国东中西部环保投资与经济可持续发展关系。研究结果表明,城市环境基础设施建设投资(CSHJ)是当前环保投资的关键,其在东中西部对经济增长影响度远大于工业污染源治理投资(GYWR)及新建项目"三同时"环保投资(XJXM);但是环保投资政策受到区域差异化影响而不同,在东部加强城市环境基础设施建设投资(CSHJ)和工业污染源治理投资(GYWR),其效果要好于中部,中部好于西部;在西部,要加强新建项目"三同时"环保投资(XJXM),其效果要好于中部,中部好于东部。因此,政府应实施区域差异化投资战略。     

RURAL-URBAN LINKAGES: Farming and Farm Households in Regional and Town Economies*

While it is known that agricultural expansion is critical to growth in nonfarm sectors of rural regions, the extent and mechanisms of economic interdependency between agriculture and other sectors remains an inadequately understood aspect of the rural-urban economic growth dynamic. Least well understood are the linkages between household farm income and development of town economies. This paper presents findings from rural-urban exchange research in rural regions of Kenya and Somalia that provide insights into relationships between agriculture and the nonfarm economy, and offers conclusions for rural regional development strategies.     

行政区划调整与区域差距——以海南建省为例

本文以海南建省为案例,采用差分法和准实验法从纵向和横向两个方面估计了行政区划调整对缩小区域差距的影响。研究发现,行政区划调整对缩小区域差距既有正面影响,也有负面影响。其正面影响的原因是行政区升格对地方官员的政治激励、中央的优惠政策和分权,其负面影响的原因是经济增长质量不高和人口的过量流入。本文认为,行政区划的调整有利于缩小区域差距。     

全要素生产率与区域经济发展不平衡 ——基于资本存量再测算的视角

本文分别从生产函数与资本折旧率选择的角度对全要素生产率进行了理论分析与实际测算,以全国和三大区域为研究对象,讨论经济发展质量与区域经济发展不平衡之间的影响效应。研究发现：第一,中国区域经济发展不平衡与全要素生产率之间存在弱线性反向、强非线性的变动关系,全要素生产率的提升虽能有效缓解区域有效发展不平衡,但这种关系存在一定的阈值效应。第二,二者的影响效应呈现出地域差异性和动态演变性：2012年之前,东部地区经济发展不平衡程度具有逐年递减的态势,中、西部地区存在波动增加的趋势;2012年之后,东部地区经济发展不平衡程度趋于平缓,而中、西部地区呈现逐年递减的态势。总体而言,东部地区经济发展不平衡程度低于中、西部地区,而区域间经济发展质量的差异是引起该现象产生的主要原因。     

The Rise of Ethnicity under China's Market Reforms

This article investigates the dynamic relationship between economic development and the identification of ethnic minorities and argues that identification of China's ethnic minorities manifests itself at various levels. At the national level, the introduction of market mechanisms and economic growth initiatives have been concentrated predominantly in the coastal areas and metropolises, and are thus increasingly distant from ethnic minorities, a disproportionate majority of which reside in the western parts of the country. This growing regional disparity has placed ethnic regions and populations in a distinctly unfavourable position in terms of economic engagement and development. Regional development in the ethnic‐minority homelands has been characterized by the representation and reinvention of ethnic cultural traditions and the production of cultural economies. Unequal economic growth has resulted in a massive migration of ethnic minorities to the cities. Simultaneously, urban development has reinforced ethnic identity, particularly through urban labour‐market development. Urban and regional development has, in turn, led to the production, activation and magnification of ethnic identity at individual and group levels.     

Higher education and economic growth: A longitudinal study of European regions 2000–2017

This paper investigates the impact of regional higher education systems (HESs) on economic growth, based upon 284 European regions (NUTS 2) over an 18-year period (from 2000 to 2017). The empirical framework specifically models the heterogeneity of the HESs by including indicators on university concentration, on the size of the HES and on HES performance and other important factors. The analysis is based on a novel and integrated dataset, created by collecting and combining indicators from different data sources (Eurostat, OECD, WHED and InCites). The results reveal that an increase in number of universities in a region is conducive to stronger economic growth within that region. The quality of research and a specialisation in STEM subjects are the primary drivers through which universities impact positively on the regions’ economic development.

Inward investment and endogenous development. The convergence of the strategies of large firms and territories?

Inward investment is often understood as an inadequate instrument for self-sustained growth and as being responsible for the insufficient development of peripheral areas. Globalization and increasing competition within the markets, however, changed the firms' and regions' adjustment environment, and led to the convergence of spatial strategies of the large innovative firms and the development strategies of regional and local governments. This process contributes toward the integration of the external firms within local productive systems and, therefore, large innovative firms can play a relevant role in endogenous development processes. Although the convergence of strategies is not a phenomenon that can be generalized for all types of firms and territories, a new line of action opens up that permits improved productive restructuring and economic development, even in less favoured and peripheral regions.     

Regional patterns and determinants of birth and survival of new firms in Western Germany

This paper documents and assesses the economic performance of metropolitan technology centres in the USA during the business downturn of the early 2000s. We find that many of the USA's leading high-technology centres have performed at or near the national average, but that some of the nation's most prominent technology centres have fared poorly during the downturn, including Silicon Valley. The main factors that accentuated economic decline in technology centres during the recent recession include: a poorly diversified overall economic base; limited diversity within high-technology industries; relatively high (all industry) wages; and high levels of venture capital funding during the end of the ‘boom’ period of the late 1990s. We find that counter to some of the recent literature on regional development and knowledge-based industry clustering and networking, the rules of regional economic development have not changed dramatically with the so-called ‘new economy’. High-technology regions, just as ‘traditional’ industry regions over the past century, are vulnerable to pronounced economic cycles of growth and decline. The cycles can be particularly pronounced if regional economies are not well diversified and labour costs are not moderated during economic downturns. We also find that venture capital can exaggerate rather than moderate regional economic cycles, such as economic growth years in the USA from the late 1990s to the recession of 2001. The model suggests that free-flowing venture capital dollars may result in an over reliance on these funds, at the expense of a sound business model with sustainable growth and reasonable cash flow. Also, business networks associated with venture capital fund flow might be detrimental at critical economic turning points, often resulting in a rush of dollars in a limited business sector, rather than a diversified set of entrepreneurial ventures.     

Does land use planning shape regional economies? A simultaneous analysis of housing supply,internal migration and local employment growth in the Netherlands

Why has job growth over the past decades been weaker in the Dutch Randstad area than in surrounding regions? In a simultaneous equations analysis, we find that employment has adjusted to the regional supply of labour. Net internal migration was predominantly determined by regional housing supply, and not by employment growth. Growth of the regional housing stock appeared insensitive to changes in the number of people and jobs. This lack of responsiveness to demand conditions is consistent with the presence of strong restrictions on residential development near the main Dutch cities, suggesting that the current regional distribution of economic activity in the Netherlands reflects land use planning decisions.     

On the Regional Dimensions of Rostow's Theory of Growth

Rostow's approach to economic development, summarized in The Stages of Economic Growth , involved an economy passing through a sequence of well-defined stages. This theory of growth was primarily concerned with the national economy. There were, however, more than a few references to regions, although these were not elaborated upon or explored in detail. The concern here is with examining the possibility that the Rostow analysis might also have a relevance at the sub-national or regional scale. This possibility is considered in terms of three distinct perspectives: the regional (where the emphasis is on the individual region, with no attention given to the rest of the nation); the multiregional (the focus being on the various regions that comprise the nation); and the interregional (which examines the economic relations among regions within a nation).

REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN CHINA: INTERREGIONAL TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND REGIONAL COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE

Significant economic disparities among China's Eastern, Central, and Western regions pose unequivocal challenges to social equality and political stability in the country. A major impediment to economic development, especially in the poor, remote Western region, is the shortage of a transportation infrastructure. The Chinese government has committed to substantial investment for improving the accessibility of this vast, land-locked region as a mechanism for promoting its development. The paper examines the impacts of the intended transportation infrastructure build-up on the Western region's comparative advantage and its interregional trade. The World Trade Model is extended to represent this investment and applied to determine interregional trade in China based on region-specific technologies, factor endowments and prices, and consumption patterns as well as the capacities and costs of carrying goods among regions using the interregional transportation infrastructure in place in the base year of 1997 and that planned for 2010 and 2020. The model is implemented for three regions, 27 sectors, and seven factors. The results indicate that the planned infrastructure build-up will be cost-effective, will increase benefits especially for the Western region, and that it can conserve energy overall at given levels of demand but substitute oil for coal. Based on these and other model results, some recommendations are offered about strategies for regional development in China.     

Identity construction among boundary-crossing individuals

In this article we describe a study of boundary-crossing individuals (individuals who change organisation frequently) and the way they construct identities through interaction and self-reflexion. It is argued from a social constructionist perspective that studies of the way individual identities are constructed are important to our understanding of the complexity of the identity phenomenon. Identities cannot simply be reduced to certain stable institutionalised aspects such as profession or gender. Rather life should be seen as an ongoing process of identity construction, whereby reflexion upon life episodes and the pattern of such episodes shape identities. The results suggest different patterns of articulations through narratives. These narratives are associated with different underlying ontological discourses that describe diverse ways of reasoning among boundary-crossing individuals.
