New reform of port management system which delegated the power of port administration to lower levels and separated the government administration from port management was done from 2001 in order to mobilize local government's positivity. After that port investment becomes very popular in many cities under the support of the local government. So it is significant to discuss whether abundant port investment for regional interests is accord with the national interests or the unitary interests of regional ports.The paper wants to find main reasons of excess investment trend and bring forward proper verified mechanism and suggestion for ports' programming and building by analyzing the effect that the local government on the port investment and by evaluating the proper size port investment according supply and demand.Firstly, the paper introduces reform of port management system and discusses the main ideas, development and the effect on the port building of the exist system. Based on that the topic of the paper -excess investment trend (similar function and excess supply of port) and the reasons are discussed.Secondly, the paper chooses three container ports of ring-Bohai region to be samples and analyses qualitatively and quantitatively respectively. And draws a conclusion that similar function of port is exist and supply excess demand for some ports. Then the paper discusses reasons of excess investment by analyzing region and inter-region port investment development strategy.Lastly, the paper puts forward an automatic verified mechanism for local government considering the deficient harmony between regions by game method. Then the paper gives some suggestion on excess investment because of seeking local interests, such as: to establish program framework, to weak the role of local government and to restrict the behavior of localHIgovernment.The paper tries to make all levels of port management organizations knowclearly that excess port investment is exist, that local government plays aimportant role for excess port investment and that local government behaviorshould be restricted.Su hanqiu(industria) Economics) Directed by Professor Qu linchi... |
