中部地区核心城市都市圈发展与消费结构优化——以大南昌都市圈为例

考察郑州、武汉、合肥和大南昌都市圈这四大中部地区都市圈,从边际消费倾向、需求收入弹性、需求价格弹性三个方面比较其核心城市消费结构,发现大南昌都市圈核心城市中城镇居民的生活水平逐年改善,正在由以生存型消费为主的基本阶段跨越到以发展型消费为主的注重消费质量的阶段,但其进度略落后于其他中部省份单中心都市圈的核心城市。大南昌都市圈要实现赶超,需着重增加城镇居民收入和提升供给产品质量,充分发挥消费空间,通过消费驱动的核心城市经济增长引领都市圈的发展。

The Development and Consumption Structural Optimization of the Metropolitan Areas in Central China: with the Greater Nanchang Metropolitan Area as a Case

Surveys of four major metropolitan areas of greater Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Hefei, and Nanchang in central China to compare the consumption structures of their core cities from such three aspects as the marginal consumption propensity, the demand-income elasticity, and the demand-price elasticity reveal that the livelihood of urban residents in the core city of the greater Nanchang metropolitan area improves each year to the current leap from the primary stage of consumption to live to the consumption quality focused stage of development driven consumption. However, its speed of improvement slightly lags behind the core cities of the other single core metropolitan areas in central China. To surpass the peers, greater Nanchang metropolitan area should strive to increase the income of urban residents and raise the quality of products, sufficiently use consumption margins, and lead metropolitan area development through consumption driven economic growth of the core city.
