Abstract:

      We investigate the spatial disparity of Hubei countylevel percapital GDP from 2000 to 2011 by Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA). We also preliminarily analyze its tendency, distribution characteristics and reasons. Calculation results show that the total countylevel spatial disparity of regional economy greatly decreases. Local analysis demonstrates that diffusion of Wuhan city circle and Jingyi city group is significant. Remarkably economy resembling area enlarges, and their fringe area exhibits the tendency of synchronization development. Reduction of total countylevel economy disparity cannot demonstrate the coordinate economic development of the whole province. Cumulative effect may cause spatial disparity ampliative.

Key words: spatial disparity analysis, regional economy, Hubei province, Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis
