Note: The numbers used to identify the regions correspond to the numbers in the map of Fig.
2. In the coastal area, Hainan is included in Guangdong province during the period 1985-
1991 and it shows separately in the period 1992-1996. In the western area, Tibet (i.e. number
24) is omitted. The average growth rates for the three areas and the whole China are
calculated by using shares of national income in 1985 for the period 1985-1991 and shares of
GDP in 1992 for the period of 1992-1996 as weights.
