Abstract Regional coordinated development has long been the basic strategy in guiding the regional economic development of our country. It is of great significance for the coordinated regional economic development to give scientific judgement on differences in its process. Using three indexes of range, standard deviation and coefficient of variation, this paper measures the absolute and relative differences of regional economy of 18 cities in Henan province from 2003 to 2015. Then adopting SPSS 21.0 and methods of factor and cluster analysis, it proceeds to an empirical study of regional economic development in those cities by selecting 11 indicators, including GDP and fixed asset investment and by establishing a comprehensive evaluation index system. The results show that the regional economic disparities in Henan since 2003 has been fluctuating while growing smaller.The entire province has formed an economic space pattern of core-periphery structure with the central region of central plain city group being the core.The major influencing factors are traffic conditions,resource endowment,socio-economic base,strategies of coordinated development and so on.
