文章运用省级面板数据对Beckman的中心地规模模型进行修正,实证研究我国中心地体系中流通规模等级结构特征。结果表明,我国市级中心地自身流通产出规模与其流通产出总规模之间的比值约为0.7,县级中心地自身流通产出规模与其流通产出总规模之间的比值约为0.3,中心地系数随等级提高而上升。但中心地系数的过快上升也表明城乡流通体系差距较大,因此应重视发展县域中心地体系来优化流通规模等级分布。
This paper revises the Beckman's center scale model based on the provincial panel data to empirically study the circulation scale structure in central-place system of China. The results show that, the ratio between the circulation output and its circulation output total size of the municipal center in China is about 0.7 ; the ratio between county-level center of circulation output and its circulation output total size is about 0.3. The center ratio increases with the rating. However, the excessive rise of the center ratio also shows the gap between urban and rural circulation systems and therefore the development of the county center system should be stressed to optimize the distribution of circulation.
