Abstract

The concentration of poverty usually occurs in specific regions. This article aims at the administrative border area, and takes the three provinces in southwestern China as the research objects, using independent sample T test and the random effect regression method to confirm the existence of the border effect. The counties on the border line lag significantly behind other counties in the province in terms of economic development. According to empirical analysis, this paper proposes that regional poverty reduction and development need to consider multiple factors, with the focus on promoting communication and cooperation across administrative regions and breaking economic, political, and cultural barriers.
