信任对市场、经济和社会的繁荣与发展具有重要作用。信任作为经济社会发展的内生变量,与区域经济发展、市场化进程之间存在着相互影响、互为因果的关系。中国新兴加转轨的双重制度环境加剧了区域信任度的差异,这种差异更多是区域经济发展和市场化进程的结果而不是原因。通过对中国大陆省际不均衡的区域经济发展、市场化进程和信任水平进行比较分析,发现较高的区域经济发展水平和与之协调的市场化进程导致较高的区域信任度,较低的区域经济发展水平和超前的市场化进程导致较低的区域信任度。
Trust plays an important role in the prosperity and development of market, economy and the whole society. Trust is an endogenous variable of economic and social development and thus has mutual influence and reciprocal causation with regional economic development and marketization. The dual system environment of China' s emerging and transitional market makes the difference of regional trust is more the results than the causes of regional economic development and marketization. This paper made a comparative analysis on the unbalanced provincial economic development, marketization and trust of Chinese mainland. It' s shown that advanced regional economy and corresponding marketization lead to higher regional trust, while less developed economy and excessive marketization lead to lower regional trust. The policy implications is that regional trust can be improved by accelerating the establishment of efficient system, speeding up the development of regional economy and promoting modern market.
