区域经济一体化的机制与效应--基于制度距离的空间发展解释

面对后疫情时代、逆全球化的复杂环境以及"双循环"国家发展战略新要求,消除阻碍要素流动与配置壁垒、促进区域经济一体化的意义更为迫切。但是如何深刻地观察和衡量制度壁垒的空间效应在实践中是一个难题,也缺乏相应的有效理论支撑。经济地理学的制度转向带来了研究焦点从"物与结构"向"制度"转变,文章将新制度经济学中的"制度距离"概念引入区域空间经济研究中,认为由于地方之间的制度环境和制度安排差异所导致的"制度距离",为区域空间经济分析提供了新的理论视角与测度方法。文章揭示了区域空间发展中制度距离的作用机制,初步构建了影响区域经济一体化的空间经济分析解释框架,基于制度距离与空间距离建立了二维分析象限,分析了三种典型的区域空间效应表征类型。

The Mechanism and Effect of Regional Integration:An Explanation of Spatial Development Based on Institutional Distance

In the face of the post-epidemic era,the complex environment of anti-globalization and the new requirements of the "dual circulation" national development strategy,it is more urgent to eliminate barriers to the flow and allocation of elements and promote regional economic integration. However, how to observe and measure the spatial effect of institutional barriers is a difficult problem in practice, and there is no corresponding effective theoretical support. The institutional turn of economic geography has brought about the change of research focus from "object and structure" to "institution". This paper introduces the concept of "institutional distance" in the new institutional economics into the study of regional spatial economy,and holds that the "institutional distance" caused by the institutional environment and institutional arrangement differences between local governments provides a new theoretical perspective and measurement for regional spatial economic analysis method. This paper reveals the mechanism of institutional distance in regional spatial development, initially constructs the spatial economic analysis and interpretation framework affecting regional economic integration,establishes a two-dimensional analysis quadrant based on institutional distance and spatial distance,and analyzes three typical types of regional spatial effects.
