Industrialization is the source of economic growth, and the regional difference of industrialization is also the most important cause from which regional economic disparities had derived, so the problem of regional economic disparities has transformed into regional difference of industrialization in fact. At present, our country has entered the middle stage of industrialization and is in the transitional process to the advanced stage, but the level of industrialization of 31 provinces, municipalities, has been uneven and pace-varied, some areas have accessed to past-industrial stage and some are still in the initial stage of industrialization. On the basis of the process index of industrialization and the industrialization index calculated, by using Hierarchical Cluster Analysis methods, we can divide 31 provinces and cities into four groups with different levels, and more obvious differences are shown in industrial outputs and economic benefits, the ownership structure, size structure, competitiveness and industrial products, etc. Among the many variables affecting the process of industrialization, infrastructure plays a very important role. It mainly affects the process of industrialization through its impact on the flow of production factors, improving economies of scale, the effect of their own structures and promoting economic and social structural changes in the region. The strong correlation and almost same amount of growth between infrastructure level, using efficiency of infrastructure and industrialization level had effectively certificated the close links between infrastructure and industrialization. Therefore, the regional difference of industrialization can be seen from the coordination of regional infrastructure construction, that required the central government to assume good regional planning and coordination, give financial support to the backward areas and improve various policy regimes; Backward areas need to catch two key ways: transforming government functions and diversifying infrastructure investment and financing opened up; Developed areas should be proper controlling of the new infrastructure projects investment ratio, and explore efficient business model of infrastructure, optimize infrastructure category structure to promote sustained and efficiency economic growth. |
