党的十八大提出到2020年，中国GDP和城乡居民人均收入比2010年翻一番的战略构想，实现经济快速增长，缩小区域发展差距，提升经济效率是一个重要抓手。本课题以经济学、地理学相关理论为基础，采用跨学科综合集成的研究方法，系统研究区域经济效率的理论内涵、时空演变的影响要素和机制。课题在构建区域经济效率理论和实证模型的基础上，以我国典型都市圈（首都圈）为例，从时空两个维度研究近些年首都圈区域经济效率动态演进的规律性特征，经济效率的影响因素与内在机理；探讨不同空间尺度、不同时间维度区域经济效率演变的规律性差异，解析区域经济效率与经济增长的耦合关系。课题力求在理论上揭示我国典型地区不同时期区域经济效率演进规律的同时，提出区域经济效率发展趋势预测的理论模型和实证方法；并进一步从空间维度，研究区域经济效率的空间溢出效应及其传导机制；在应用上，为我国政府相关部门制定优化区域经济效率的政策组合工具奠定基础。

The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the strategic goals that China's GDP and per capita income of urban and rural residents doubling in 2020 than 2010. To achieve fast development and reduce the gap of regional development,and enhance economic efficiency is an important starting point.The study, based on the theories of economics and economic geography, using comprehensive integrated interdisciplinary research methods, systematically study the theoretical connotation of regional economic efficiency, and its influence elements and mechanisms of spatial and temporal evolution.The program, based on the regional economic theoretical and empirical model construction，take typical metropolitan（Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan) in China as a case，from two dimensions of the space-time, study on the dynamic evolution regularity characteristics of regional economic efficiency of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan, and its affecting factors and internal mechanism in recent years, explore the difference of different spatial scales, different time dimension of regional economic efficiency evolution regularity, resolve regional economic efficiency and economic growth coupled relationship. The aims of the study are to reveal the evolution of the law of regional economic efficiency in typical areas of different periods in theory, at the same time propose theoretical models and empirical methods about regional economic efficiency development trend forecasting. And further, the program study on regional economic efficiency space spillovers and its conduction mechanisms from the dimensions of space. On the application, the study lays the foundation for the relevant departments of Chinese government to develop a combination of policy tools optimizing the regional economic efficiency.
