 Intraprovincial disparities in China: Fujian Province, 1978-1995 Economic Geography - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
This research shows that intraprovincial disparities in China-at least in the case of Fujian-were already large at the beginning of the reform era, have since widened significantly, and have widened relatively as well as absolutely.
Nevertheless, every county in Fujian has experienced substantial growth in output and income per capita (at real rates in excess of 5 and 3 percent per annum, respectively) and substantial alleviation of poverty (as measured against an absolute threshold).
The observed spatial patterns appear to reflect the initial spread of modern growth over much of the province, a spread driven in part by policies to create income opportunities for the poor and closely correlated with access to transportation.
