中文摘要：

从分析角度上，可以把俱乐部趋同界定为时间俱乐部趋同、空间俱乐部趋同和时空耦合俱乐部趋同。考虑到不同的检验方法对俱乐部趋同概念的理解并不相同，对于俱乐部趋同的界定除了考虑时空维度以外，还需按照检验方法进一步细分。本文通过对中国俱乐部趋同的识别，发现了随机型时间俱乐部趋同、空间俱乐部趋同及随机型时空俱乐部趋同的存在性，从而验证了本文定义俱乐部趋同的思路是具有实践价值的。

英文摘要：

Differences between time dimension, space dimension and divergences among test methods in the definition of definite club convergence. So the authors firstly put forward the Time and Space Coupling Club Convergence which combines time dimension and space dimension against their separation lying in current literature so as to find the lacks created by their separation. In addition, considering the divergences resulted from different test methods, the author divides club convergence into Cross-section Time Club Convergence, Stochastic Time Club Convergence, Space Club Convergence, Cross-section Time and Space Coupling Club Convergence and Stochastic Time and Space Coupling Club Convergence. The result shows as follows. （1） Through distinguishing club convergence in China, this paper finds that there are three stochastic time club convergences, one space club convergence and one stochastic time and space coupling club convergence in the periods of 1978-2006. （2） The research gains 3 time regional groups and those groups are in more accor- dance with club convergence＇s characteristic of ＂within group convergence and between groups divergence＂ than traditional four regions. （3）Spatial factor, marketization force and structural difference act important role in club convergences forming. Local governments should break administrative boundaries, actively seek op- portunities of economic cooperation, reinforce interregional economic relation so as to spread the circum- scription of growth spillovers and then to achieve coordinative development of interregional economy.
