摘要
本文通过引述Krugman的中心 -外围区域模型 ,详细分析了美国早期制造业中心从位于东北部、大西洋中部沿海地区向中西部地区转移的条件、过程。本文发现 ,美国中西部地区制造业的发展是与该地区人口数量特别是城市人口快速增长、内部运输系统效率提高、暂时维持与制造业发达地区运输成本分不开的。联系到中国改革开放以来地区差距总体上是处于不断扩大的趋势之中 ,缩小地区差距的前提条件是实现西部地区产业结构的升级 ,而这一目标实现的前提条件是西部地区城市化的发展和地区内部交通运输效率的提高。
By Krugman's core-periphery model,this paper analyses in detail the process of American Manufacturing transmission from North-east and the coastal areas of Mid-Pacific to the Midwest.We find that the development of Manufacturing in American Midwest closely related to its increase of population (especially the population in urban),bettered inner transportation efficiency,maintaining temporarily the transportation cost with the East areas.Now,comparing to China's serious situation of regional disparity,We believe that the transformation of industrial structure in West is one of the solutions,which comes after the achievements of urbanization and the improvement of transportation efficiency.
