Abstract: Based on the government structure theory, this paper analyzes the Chinese local governments economic growth target formulation pattern. Theoretically, the paper puts forward the theoretical framework of vertical adjustment of temporal dimension and lateral response of spatial dimension in the implementation of target management of economic growth. In the empirical study, this paper finds that the local economic growth target has a positive response to the local economic growth and a positive strategic response to the economic growth target in other regions, while making strategic reverse adjustment to the national actual economic growth trend. At the same time, the adjustment of local economic growth target presents prominent heterogeneity, which is manifested in the difference of coastal and inland areas, the difference of the period before and after the financial crisis, and the difference of the cycle of the congress. Overall, the formulation of local economic growth targets appears radical, volatility and interaction. These findings can provide enlightenment for China's macroeconomic management practice and the steady and sustainable growth of regional economy.
