Abstract With the help of geographically weighted regression method，by analyzing China's provincial economic statistics data from 2000 to 2009, this paper investigates the relationship between fiscal decentralization and provincial economic growth in China. The result indicates that there is significant spatial correlation among China's provincial economy. Although quadri-curve relationship between fiscal decentralization and economic growth is partly confirmed, it appears obvious difference both in different provinces and different years，which results in frequent change of optimal fiscal decentralization degree. For each province，more data is needed to conform reasonable range of fiscal decentralization degree.
