Spatiotemporal coupling and influencing factors of new infrastructure and coordinated economic development
Based on the panel data of 31 provinces(cities and districts)in China from 2013 to 2020,this paper measures the level of new infrastructure development and the degree of coordinated regional economic devel-opment in each province and then uses the coupling coordination model to measure the coupling coordination degree of the two and analyzes their spatial and temporal evolution patterns and influencing factors.The res-ults show that:1)The level of development in China's new infrastructure and regional economic coordination degree has been improving each year,with increasing coupling and coordination between the two.Despite starting from a lower level,the growth rate of new infrastructure has been significant since 2018,reaching 29.96％in 2020.Similarly,there has been a noticeable upward trend in the degree of regional economic co-ordination and the coupling between new infrastructure and regional economic coordination degree.2)The coupling and coordination between new infrastructure and regional economic coordination degree exhibit spa-tial heterogeneity,with the eastern region surpassing the central and northeastern regions,while the western re-gion lags behind.This discrepancy can be attributed to the relatively higher levels of new infrastructure devel-opment and regional economic coordination degree in the eastern provinces,as well as the smaller internal dif-ferences within the central and northeastern provinces.On the other hand,the western provinces exhibit great-er disparities.3)The level of new infrastructure development demonstrates negative spatial spillover effects among provincial regions,whereas the degree of regional economic coordination and the coupling between new infrastructure and regional economic coordination degree exhibit positive spatial spillover effects among provincial regions.4)The factors that primarily influence the coupling and coordination between new infra-structure and regional economic coordination degree are related to industrial structure and urbanization pro-cesses.Conversely,factors such as government management and population density have less discernible ef-fects on this coupling and coordination.The article investigates the evolutionary characteristics and influen-cing factors of the level of new infrastructure development,the degree of coordinated regional economic devel-opment,and the degree of coupling and coordination of the two in China,and expects to provide a reference for decision-making on the benign interaction between new infrastructure and coordinated regional economic de-velopment in China.
