Abstract

This paper aims to understand the nature and evolution of spatial disparities in China. Inthe first part, we perform a convergence analysis of the per capita income at province and subprovincelevel (1996-2009), using the kernel estimator on the distribution of this variable. Inthe second part of the paper we complement our analysis by looking at the changes occurredin the same period using a Multi-Dimensional Indicator of Development (mid), calculated foreach Chinese province and its rural and urban sub-provincial areas. The mid is composed offive dimensions (Macroeconomic Climate, Research and Innovation, Human Capital, Infrastructureand Economic Efficiency) and is used to rank the Chinese provinces and rural andurban areas according to their degree of development for the years 1996 and 2006. Thematicmaps of China representing the mid and its dimensions are provided in the paper to visualizethe changes occurred over time.
