Based on a selective review of studies of regional development models in China, this article develops an integrated analytical framework, which includes two dimensions. First, a static dimension that integrates national institutions with regional specific structural and informal institutional factors, specifically historical legacies, how they interact with each other to shape local actors' incentives, constraints and strategies of survival, therefore explain different regional models. Second, it includes a dynamic dimension that explores the historical evolution of regional models, with a focus on the coevolution or mutual transformation of different institutions with feedback effects.
