By analyzing the geography of articles on China’s regional economic inequality published in the core journals from 1993 to 2012,we summarize the rules of change from three perspectives:spatial extent,study area, and geographical scale. The following driving forces have been shaping and reshaping the dynamics of regional inequality literature in China:the regional development strategy,economic globalization and localization,as well as progress of research methods. The authors argue that more research efforts need to be spent on those underdeveloped regions. In addition,finer-scale research needs to be encouraged. At the same time,different spatial scales should be integrated in the study of China’s regional economic inequality.%基于1993—2012年中国知网期刊库,对搜索到的536篇关于区域经济差异文献进行地理统计,探讨了中国区域经济差异研究的空间尺度、重点区域和研究方法等变化的规律性特征。引起相关文献研究地理对象变化的原因主要是国家区域发展战略变化,全球经济一体化和地方化发展推进以及研究技术的不断进步等。未来的研究应更加注重加强欠发达区域、城市及小尺度行政地域和不同空间尺度的经济发展差异研究。
