New Quality Productive Forces:Measurement,Spatiotemporal Dynamics,and Regional Disparities
A comprehensive evaluation index system was developed based on the three core components of productive forces,and the entropy method was employed to quantitatively assess the levels of new quality productive forces across 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2022.Using Dagum's Gini coefficient,exploratory spatial data analysis(ESDA),Kernel density estimation,and the β-convergence model,this study examined regional disparities,spatiotemporal evolution,and convergence trends of new quality productive forces.The main findings are as follows:New quality productive forces demonstrate overall positive growth.However,significant regional imbalances persist.The eastern region maintains its leading position,while the central,western and northeastern regions exhibit substantial growth potential;Among the multidimensional contributors,means of production have the most substantial impact on new quality productive forces,while there remains significant room for improvement in labor quality;Spatial analysis reveals that the spatial distribution of new quality productive forces are becoming increasingly dispersed,with the"low-high"clustering phenomenon intensifying over time;A positive convergence trend is observed in new quality productive forces,wherein high-productivity regions exert a demonstrative effect on neighboring areas.However,the rate of convergence remains relatively slow.
