Abstract

This paper takes the three regions in China as investigated regional unit , and measures disparities between provinces , disparity between the three regions and the contribution rate with relative development efficiency and Theil index . It discovers that disparity of relative development efficiency among provinces remains big . The disparities between the three regions exists club convergence and the expansion of regional disparity has been growing ; contribution rates of eastern and middle part have been declined while western part’s presents fluctuation characteristics ; contribution rate of the disparity among the three regions to the internal disparity has a continuous increasing trend since 1979.
