Abstract: In recent years, with the roll of exports and investment in boosting the economy having weakened, the contribution of consumption to economic growth has aroused widespread concern. This paper analyzes the relationship between consumption upgrading and economic growth by using data from 30 provinces in China from 2000 to 2017 in light of the current era. The results show that consumption upgrading can significantly promote economic growth, and there are urban-rural differences. The path of consumption upgrading to economic growth is mainly the change of industrial structure and investment structure. Although there are some differences in regression results when different indexes are used to measure, it does not affect the overall analysis conclusion.Therefore, a series of policy recommendations are proposed for future, including raising the income level of residents,narrowing the income gap,improving the social security system,and improving the investment structure, realizing the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, realizing consumption upgrading to better promote economic growth.

摘要： 近年来随着出口、投资对经济拉动作用的减弱,消费对经济增长的贡献逐渐引起越来越多的关注。本文结合当下时代背景,运用2000年—2017年我国30个省份地区的数据分析消费升级与经济增长的关系。结果表明:消费升级能够显著促进经济增长,并且存在城乡差异;消费升级作用于经济增长的路径主要是产业结构变化和投资结构变化,在运用不同的指标进行测度时,回归结果虽然存在一定的差异,但并不影响整体的分析结论。今后应进一步提高居民收入水平,缩小收入差距,完善社会保障体系建设,改善投资结构,实现产业结构优化升级,在实现消费升级的同时助推经济增长。
