摘　　要：近年来,中国制造业的区域发展不平衡,其中的重要影响因素是什么?本文通过构建经济地理的分析框架,分析了运输成本和劳动力流动在中国特有条件下的作用机制。运输成本差异形成了制造业在沿海地区的选址优势,而这一优势和目前的高劳动力流动成本一起,形成了沿海高成本压力而内地收入低下的新空间“二元”结构。同时,我们计算了区域经济的实际数据对这一机制进行印证,假如这一局面继续维持,它将妨碍沿海和内地产业分工与均衡发展。文章还认为,因为经济集中的趋势是内生的,所以平衡区域经济发展的政策取向应该是促进性而不是限制性的。The regional development of China＇ s manufacturing industry is not balanced in recent years, and what is the main reason for this？ By an analytic framework of economic geography, we revealed how transport costs and the labor mobility affect China＇s economy. Transport costs advantage leads the preferable location of manufacturing industry to coastal areas, and the restriction to labor mobility forms a no equilibrium situation. We also analyzed empirical data of regions to test this mechanism. If the situation continues to sustain, the industry structures of coast and hinterland tend to become widely divergent. Meanwhile, since the trend of agglomeration is endogenous; we argue that the policy to reduce regional imbalance should be something to accelerate this procedure but not to restrain it.
