A Research on Harbour Engineering Construction and Regional Structure of China's International Trade

摘要

The growth pole theory point out that the growth pole have both diffusion effect and polarizing effect. The paper discusses the two effects of inshore harbour area to the region it is in through the comparison of Bohai-Rim area, Yangtze River delta area, and Pearl River Delta area and Fujian. The paper focuses on the relationship of Harbours distribution and regional structure of China's international trade, and analyses the effect of the increase of the port cargo throughput, which supplied by harbours engineering construction, to the increase of regional international trade volume by Trade Gravity Model's framework and elasticity analytical method. The paper find out that the most prominent one of the effect of growth pole of inshore harbour area for international trade is Bohai-Rim area. And the layout and policy of llth Five-Year Plan of harbour engineering construction of China accord with this paper' s result.
