Who's in First? A Regional Development Index for the PRC's Provinces

Wang, Xiaolu | May 2007
Abstract
In this report, the author aims to establish a regional development index for the PRC’s provinces that can function as an assessment system for overall achievement in regional development. It is expected that a balanced assessment will be able to provide correct incentives to local governments, in order to extricate them from the purely growth-oriented incentive mechanism. This index system is also expected to provide useful information for researchers, investors, and others interested in regional development in the PRC
