Title: Relation of Urbanization and Inter-Provincial Economic Growth Difference——Taking the Six Central Provinces of China as Examples
Abstract: Local government investments can be used as a means to study the economic gaps and the urbanization connections among the provinces.Estimation and comparison of statistic data show that the gap between the six central provinces is too big and as a result the process of urbanization is affected.If 2002 is used as a boundary-point to analyze the urbanization of the six central Chinese provinces from 1995 to 2007,the M-R-W analyzing model shows that since 2002 urbanization plays a positive role in reducing the economic growth gap between the six central provinces and promoting their coordinated development.As economic growth gap hinders the urbanization development of the central cities,those cities whose economic development depends a lot on the coordinated development of regional agglomerations are hindered most.
