ABSTRACT
Finance is the core factor of modern economics. As theories and practice shows,
the development of regional economics depends on the prosperity of its finance, which
means that regional finance is an important element to push ahead the development of
regional economics. The support of financial system is needed to explore the
Circum-Bohai-Sea Region. And the relative laggard and imbalance of the
Circum-Bohai-Sea Region hinders the going-along of its economy in some extent.
Therefore, it is vital and necessary to make experimental description and research on the
Circum-Bohai-Sea Region.
The article constructs the analysis frame work of the experimental research on
financial growth differences of the Circum-Bohai-Sea Regional basing on capital
discoursing in classical economics, the theory of regional economics, finance
development and regional finance. In the condition of abundant relevant theories and
collected data, the article does experimental research on the regional financial
development index and regional financial structural index of the Circum-Bohai-Sea
Region, the industrial comparison of the regional financial differences and the
measurement indicator system of its financial overall competitiveness to evaluate the
different financial situation of the Circum-Bohai-Sea Region and its existing problems.
In this process, some points of view in the traditional regional economics and regional
finance are testified gradually, such as the theories of Point-axis, Center-external and
Gradient-transfer; Thorough the measurement analysis of the financial development
index, financial structural index and the financial overall competitiveness of the
Circum-Bohai-Sea Region, the article concludes that it is not scientific for some
domestic scholars to quote Williamson’s “U” curve as part of Chinese regional financial
growth theory, at least inappropriate in the experimental certification of the financial
growth differences of the Circum-Bohai-Sea Region. The article also reveals the notable
economic development level, financial growth status, economic openness, scientific
research capability and infrastructure construction differences between the region’s
developed and undeveloped areas and then raises policy recommendations on bettering
the infrastructure, improving the economic development condition, using regional
financial resources to promote the whole Circum-Bohai-Sea Region into a healthy,
ordered and quick developing status.
