摘要

Since the founding of new China,the maize production pattern took on characteristic of " northern expansion and western movement" : there were great changes in ranking of main producing provinces; southern planting area gradually shrank,while central and northern planting area gradually expanded; apart from traditional main producing regions such as northeastern,north China,and southwestern regions,Shanxi- Shaanxi region and northwest region are gradually forming. To further analyze factors promoting changes in maize production pattern,based on 1987- 2013 panel data,we carried our empirical study and obtained five influencing factors: resource endowment,economic environment,market environment,technical conditions,and policies. Per capita farmland,multiple cropping index,water conservancy and irrigation,and benefit cost ratio,and traffic and transportation policies exert positive effect,non-agricultural employment level exerts negative effect,and the significance of natural disasters,market price,and science and technology are inadequate.
