Market Orientation and Regional Economic Disparities in China

Xiaowen Tian

Post-Communist Economies, 1999, vol. 11, issue 2, 161-172

Abstract: The change in China's regional output disparities can be attributed to the variation in market orientation in individual regions, and the change in China's livelihood disparities can be attributed to the weakening of government intervention in the form of regional income redistribution in the reform process. The study suggests that China should accelerate economic growth of backward interior regions by deepening market-oriented reforms on the one hand, and help residents in these regions by strengthening fiscal transfer from richer to poorer regions on the other.
