Abstract

There is a relatively new economic growth theory that culture is a deeper force to explain economic growth. This paper will establish an economic growth model based on Solow model, and discuss the economic growth of multi-ethnic areas from the perspective of language economics. On the basis of literature research, this paper first puts forward the conjecture that dialect diversity has a negative impact on the economic income level of multi-ethnic areas. In order to verify this conjecture, this paper selects Xiaojin County, Danba County, Puge county and Butuo County of Sichuan Province as the investigation objects. After screening more than 200 effective data, the least square linear regression model is used to carry out empirical analysis. Through White Heteroscedasticity Test and WLS Heteroscedasticity Test, the hypothesis that dialect diversity has a negative impact on economic income level in multi-ethnic areas is verified.

Summary

Perface

Sichuan Province is a multi-ethnic province in Southwest China, covering a total area of 486000 square kilometers, including three autonomous prefectures and four autonomous counties, with 183 county-level divisions, including 51 Minority Counties, covering more than 60% of the total area of the province. The multi-ethnic areas are often distributed in the mountainous, hilly and plateau terrain complex belt, with poor traffic convenience popularize the national common language, and strive to do a good job in the project of "pushing the general out of poverty". Language has become an important factor in the process of economic development. Whether the more common language can play a role as a lubricant in the economic activities such as commodity exchange and service trade has become an irrecoverable factor in the process of economic development Avoid problems. Based on the investigation of dialect diversity in multi-ethnic areas of Sichuan Province, the related literature and the first-hand statistics, this paper will study whether language diversity will affect economic growth and the degree of its impact on economic growth.
