Abstract

We discuss regional disparities in economic performance and living standards. We first set out some key facts, and provide a conceptual framework to help analyze whether such disparities are efficient, or instead reflect market and/or policy failures. We examine whether policy attempts to reduce regional disparities necessarily involve a trade-off between equity and efficiency. We then investigate whether policymakers should focus on boosting the economic performance of lagging regions—or, conversely, accept the presence of regional disparities, and instead assist households in lagging regions through transfer payments, investments in education, health, and other basic services, and by facilitating out-migration.

区域差距、增长和包容性
我们讨论了经济表现和生活水平的地区差异。我们首先列出了一些关键事实,并提供了一个概念框架,以帮助分析这种差异是有效的,还是反映了市场和/或政策的失败。我们研究了减少地区差异的政策尝试是否必然涉及公平与效率之间的权衡。然后,我们调查了政策制定者是否应该把重点放在提高落后地区的经济表现上,或者相反,接受地区差异的存在,而是通过转移支付、教育、卫生和其他基本服务投资以及促进向外迁移来帮助落后地区的家庭。
