Abstract:

Marketization level is an important means to reflect the development of a regional market economy. Marketization in the
ethnic minority areas is obviously lagging behind the average level of the whole country, especially the developed regions. Through the
comparison of the average level of six statistic indexes, including the ownership structure, the administrative effectiveness, the
economic extroversion, the industrial structure, factor market and law environment, among Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan
Province and the nation, the result shows that there exist some problems: the lack of private ownership enterprises, inadequate
government function transformation, insufficient extroverted degree and inefficient industrial structure. It is necessary to accelerate
economic marketization reform, speed up the development of the non- public enterprises, improve the administrative efficiency,
strengthen the international cooperation and upgrade the industrial structure, cultivate factor market, develop the agency organizations
and build service platform, make fully use of the market mechanism's effects on economic growth and establish corresponding
economic system.

Key words: ethnic minority areas, allocation of resources, marketization, Dali Prefecture
