This article offers a systematic retrospect of research findings at home and abroad concerning unified market and division of the Chinese market in the transitional period. From the perspective of research methods, the article holds, Chinese researchers tend to focus on description of facts and logical induction, and they seldom use quantitative approaches necessary for giving precise explanations of the degree of market division. Researchers abroad, on the other hand, prefer to use quantitative methods to conduct deduction based on evidence. However, as they are often unfamiliar with the actual situations in China, the data they collected lack reliability and validity, and thus their conclusions are often questionable. From the perspective of the consequent results of the researches, the author maintains, although the central government has adopted a series of measures to eliminate division of the market and solve the problem of local protection, the process of unifying the domestic market is not yet satisfactory. The author concludes that an important task for economic reform is to break up regional barriers to establish a unified domestic market in its real sense.
