This paper attempts to compare the economic levels and performances of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Inner Mongolia) in China through three theoretical perspectives on global economic development and growth. Three theoretical perspectives can be explained as follows. Diamond (1997) argues that in world history, each ethnic history is determined not by biological differences but by environmental differences. Acemoglu and Robinson (2012) argue that the rise and fall of a country is determined by the differences in political and economic systems rather than geographic environmental differences. Henry (2013) argues that even with the same inclusive political economic institutions, discipline in economic policy is more crucial to national economic growth. The results of this paper are as follows. First, according to Diamond (1997), the geographical differences between the two regions show that Inner Mongolia can be divided into Ordos region and other regions, and that their per capita GDPs based on PPP may not be much different between Mongolia and Inner Mongolia without Ordos region. Secondly, according to Acemoglu and Robinson (2012), the evaluation of both regions by the inclusion of political economy system shows that in Mongolia the political system is inclusive but the economic system is not so compared to China or Inner Mongolia which succeeded in reform and opening. However, to the Mongolians in Inner Mongolia, the economic system may still be exploitative. Third, according to Henry (2013), in terms of the discipline of economic policy, the problem of deficit financing in Inner Mongolia can be solved domestically in China, whereas the severe government deficit of the Outer Mongolia causes the foreign exchange crisis and inflation. These findings suggest that the understanding of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia can be deepened through mutual comparison.
