ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses various forms of regional government competition; discusses the attributes of resource allocation and policy matching in different phases through careful analyses of mechanisms of regional government competition for effectively allocating the several types of resources; and provides its manifestations within the market system. Regions share commonalities, similarities and generalities, but are also characterized by their individuality, particularity and diversity. The relations and differences in competition between regional governments and enterprises reveal that competition between regional governments and that between enterprises are some systems of competition on different levels of the modern market economy. The primary issue in competition for talents and science and technology is the recognition of the doctrines that human resources are primary resources and that science and technology are primary productive forces. Regional fiscal competition covers fiscal revenue and expenditure competition. Institutional innovation is the basis and guarantee of regional government innovation and is the concentrated expression of regional government competition.
