Abstract

Abstract:

Since the reform and opening up, China’s agriculture has achieved rapid growth, but the problem of uncoordinated agricultural development among regions is still outstanding. Based on the panel data of labor input and economic output of the first industry in 31 provinces (autonomous region, municipality) from 1978 to 2017, the Theil index was introduced to measure the regional development gap of agricultural economy and its structural characteristics. It was shown that, from the perspective of regional development gaps, the development gap in agricultural economy between the north and south of China has been shrinking since the reform and opening up. The development gap within the east, central and west is the main source of the development gap in China’s agricultural economy currently. The inter-provincial development gap in agricultural economy in the south is larger than that in the north, and the development gap within the west region is larger than that within the central and east regions.

Key words: agricultural economy development, regional difference, Theil index
