Border Trade and Border Tourism in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region:Coupling Coordination,Spatial-Temporal Evolution,and Impact Pathways
Border trade and border tourism serve as two significant driving forces for economic development in bor-der regions.By constructing a comprehensive evaluation index system for border trade and border tourism,this arti-cle employs entropy weight method,coupling coordination model,and grey relational analysis to conduct an in-depth analysis of the coupling coordination,spatial-temporal evolution,and influencing factors of the two systems.The results indicate that:(1)Within the sample years,border trade and border tourism in Inner Mongolia have gen-erally shown an upward trend.(2)The coupling coordination degree between the two systems has increased year by year,evolving from moderate imbalance to moderate coordination,and in 2013,a positive resonant coupling was achieved between the two systems.(3)In the index system,the grey relational degree between the economic benefits of border tourism and the development scale of border trade with the coupling coordination degree ranks at the forefront.Therefore,Inner Mongolia needs to actively respond to national policies,optimize industrial struc-ture,deepen regional cooperation and exchange,to promote high-quality development of the regional economy.
