本文以广西壮族自治区中国为例，分析了自2012年以来的区域不平等状况。我们发现了最近县级不平等加剧的趋势，其中地区不平等的分布已经从单峰型转变为双峰型。基于多机制框架，我们揭示了地理环境和民族特征对广西经济发展的重要影响。空间性、投资和工业化在区域发展中起着额外的重要作用，而全球化和分散化则起着次要的作用。在半参数地质加性模型的基础上，我们的调查发现了地理、种族和当地发展之间的非线性关系。然后，我们评估基础设施和市场潜力的相对表现，以控制未观察到的空间异质性。
This paper analyzes regional inequality in Western China through a case study of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from 1989 to 2012. We have found a recent trend of increasing county-level inequality, in which the distribution of regional inequality has changed from a single peak to a bimodal pattern. Based on the multi-mechanism framework, we have revealed that geographic environment and ethnic characteristics have had a large impact on the economic development of Guangxi. Spatiality, investment and industrialization play an additional important role in regional development; meanwhile, globalization and decentralization play a minor role. Building on the semiparametric geoadditive models, our investigation detects nonlinear relationships between geography, ethnicity and local development. We then assess the relative performance of infrastructure and market potential to control for unobserved spatial heterogeneity.
