中文摘要：

服务业的发展水平已成为一个衡量国家和地区社会经济发达程度的重要标志。中国经济自改革开放以来得到了前所未有的发展，服务业也进入高速发展时期，各地服务业在促进经济增长的同时在国民经济中的地位也在日渐提升，由于区域发展的不平衡，服务业的发展也存在区域差异。本文运用泰尔指数测算并分析了我国服务业区域差异及其变迁。结果表明，我国服务业发展的区域差异较为明显，主要是三大经济区域之间发展不平衡，总体差异是先缩小后扩大的趋势；差异主要来源于区域内部，其中大部分来源于东部区域内差异，即东部地区内部差异处于缩小趋势，西部地区呈扩大趋势，中部地区较为平稳；从服务业国内生产总值来看，东部服务业在总量上远远超过西部地区。在加快服务业发展的同时，应促进区域协调发展并优化服务业的产业结构。

In the meantime, service industry also develops rapidly, but regional disparities of resource service industry distributes disparately in regions. In this paper author analyzes the regional disparities and evolution of service industry in China with Theil indices. Results show that there are obvious regional disparities of service industry in China, and the disparities mainly come from the three eco- nomic areas of east, middle, and west area. In east area regional disparities shrinks in long term which takes a most part of regional gaps. In the mean time, inter-west area the regional gaps widens, middle area the disparities almost keep a horizontal level.
