本文借鉴近年来兴起的主流空间统计分析以及空间计量分析方法，研究了我国对外贸易的空间集聚效应及其影响因素，主要得出以下结论：① 1978-2007年间，中国30个省市的对外贸易存在显著的空间自相关；②从空间集聚效应来看，东部省市主要呈现出“高高集聚”的现象，而中西部省市则主要呈现出“低低集聚”的现象；③ 对于不同区域来说，各因素的影响效应不同，其中FDI以及政府支出规模分别对于东部地区以及西部地区有显著正向影响，另外，人均GDP水平以及高等教育学生人数对于各地区的对外贸易水平均有显著的正向影响。因此，为了促进区域贸易协调发展，需要在不同的区域培育增长极和经济圈，发挥增长极的辐射作用，并加强全国省市间的关联性，带动中西部地区贸易发展；对于西部地区而言还应该主要加强其相应的高等教育水平以及其它相关的政策导向。

This paper tries to study the spatial agglomeration situation in China using the spatial statistical and spatial econometric analysis method.It mainly contains two parts: First,the analysis of spatial autocorrelation of the 30 provinces in China. We find that ① There can see significant spatial autocorrelation between all the provinces; ② The eastern provinces are mainly characterized by "high high cluster "phenomenon, while the central and western provinces are mainly characterized by" low-low cluster "phenomenon;.③ space effects can be passed through either by the explanatory variables or by the error term; ④ The effects of factors in different regions are different:the factors in eastern region are more effective than those in central and western regions.Therefore, in order to promote regional development,we must foster different regional and economic circles, to play the radiation role of the growth poles, and to strengthen the connection between provinces.And we can also improve the forrign trade in western provinces by strengthening the tertiary education and using the government government as a tool.
