中文摘要：

建立指标评价体系，采用多种定量方法，对中国地级煤炭城市经济运行机制和路径进行了分析比较。研究显示：①资金投入产出转换能力因子、从业人员投入与城市基础设施保障因子和城市职能与城市环境改善因子是地级煤炭城市经济运行的三大宏观机制，且它们的贡献度依次降低，由此得出11项重点控制指标。②地级煤炭城市经济运行总体水平并不太高，且呈现不平衡的发展趋势，其演进有着独特的劣化顺序。

英文摘要：

The appraisal indicators system is built operation of the prefecture cities of coal mining and the mechanism and paths of economic in China during 1995-2004 are analyzed by many quantitive methods. The results show： Firstly, the transferring factor of capital inputoutput, the sustaining factor of employee input and infrastructure construction and the improvement factor of function and ecological environment are key maco-momentums that lead to economy operate for the cities of coal mining in China and its contribution degrees to the economic operation gradually reduce, and farther appraisal indicator variety degrees reveal that the contribution rates of different indicators are different and there are 11 indicators that are key controlled variables; Secondly, generalized principal component analysis reveal the level of economic operation is not higher, and there exist the inferior development order from Group Ⅰ, Group Ⅳ, Group Ⅱ to Group Ⅲ. Meanwhile, analysis of projective combination of the three components indicate there is inequilibrium for the coal mining cities, in which there is significant differences for the coal mining cities scores between the first components and the others, and its alteration figures are different, too.
