An Empirical Analysis about Chinese Urban Growth Mode
使用面板单位根和协整检验，分析了1992-2007年中国城市增长的收敛特征和平行增长，发现1992-1999年存在收敛，但2000-2007年消失，且整体无平行增长，仅部分同规模、区位和政策城市有平行增长迹象。
The research on the growth of city size and quantity has contributed to understand and analyses regularity of the process of urbanization,and distinguishes the urban growth theory from economic growth theory.In this paper,panel unit roots test and panel co-integration test are used to analyses the convergence characteristics and parallel growth of China's urban growth based on empirical evidence.The results show that,in 1992—1999,there exists convergence characteristics in China's urban growth.But in 2000—2007,the convergence characteristics disappear.Chinese cities do not exist the parallel growth characteristics overall.However,as the endogenous city growth theory predicts,some cities which have the same size,location and regional policy emerge some characteristics of parallel growth.
