Features: This book comprehensively and systematically studies the theory of regional economics and its practice in China over the past half century. The combination of normative and empirical research is a key feature of the book. The entire book consists of 15 chapters, divided into six major parts: the origin and development of regional economics, regional economic growth and development, interregional relations, regional industrial structure and spatial structure, regional economic policy and management, and the prospects of regional economics. Each chapter includes both theoretical and empirical analysis. The theoretical analysis section elaborates on the fundamental theories of regional economics, revealing the basic laws of regional economic development. In the empirical research section, a wealth of specific data is used to reveal the operational trajectory of China's regional economy, the main problems it faces, and their historical roots. It also proposes analytical and problem-solving approaches for major issues in current regional economic development. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in regional economics, provide a theoretical framework and analytical methods for regional economic research to government officials, and offer guidance for Chinese and foreign entrepreneurs and investors in studying and understanding China's regional investment environment and regional disparities.
