环渤海经济圈近年来作为中国经济增长的“第三极”受到了普遍关注，从实际利用外资额来看，环渤海经济圈是北方吸引外资最大的地区，那么，在这个区域，是否存在一个中心城市起“龙头”作用？伴随着天津滨海新区和青岛城市规划的兴起，天津和青岛的龙头之争开始凸显，作为环渤海经济圈的两大核心城市，天津和青岛的发展是应当有所侧重，还是齐头并进？文章从实证分析的角度对天津和青岛分别作为中心城市的模式进行检验，结果表明，无论是天津还是青岛，都没有作为整个地区中心城市的实力，但是，从整体来看，天津发展更胜一筹，因此，为了提升整个环渤海经济圈的综合竞争力，两个城市应当相互协调，共同发展，同时要利用各自独特的优势，在外资利用上各取所需，特色发展。

Bohai Economic Circle, as the“third pole”of China’s economic growth, has been attached great improtance in recent years. From the perspective of foreign capital utilization,Bohai Economic Circle is the largest region to attract foreign in-vestment in north China. Then,whether or not there is a central city playing the leading role in the region？Two cities’debates on which one is the central city begin to highlight with the rise of Tianjin Binhai New Area and the start of Qingdao Urban Plan-ning. As two core cities in the circle, should Tianjin and Qingdao concentrate on their own developments or go hand in hand？The paper tests the development modes in an empirical analysis,by taking each city as a central one. The results show that nei-ther of them has the strength to be the single center in the entire circle. However,the development of Tianjin is better than that of Qingdao on the whole. Therefore,two cities should coordinate with each other for common development,by taking advantag-es of their unique strengths in the utilization of foreign capital and pursuing feature development,in order to enhance the com-petitiveness of the whole Bohai Economic Circle.
