Measurement of High-Quality Economic Development Level in Border Regions Based on the Entropy Weight TOPSIS Method
Based on the"new development philosophy",this study constructs a three-tiered evaluation in-dex system for high-quality economic development.By applying the entropy weight TOPSIS method,it meas-ures the level of high-quality economic development in border regions and categorize these areas into different gradients.The results indicate that innovation and open-up development contributes the most to high-quality economic development in border regions,coordinated development contributes more weaker,while shared and green development contributes the least.In terms of individual indicators,border regions exhibit high levels of green and shared development,moderate levels of coordinated development,and low levels of innovation and open-up development.Among these regions,Liaoning,Guangxi,and Jilin Province are at a moderately high level of high-quality economic development by falling into the first tier;Gansu and Heilongjiang Province are at a moderate level by falling into the second tier;and Inner Mongolia,Yunnan,Xinjiangand Tibet Province are at a relatively low level by falling into the third tier.Therefore,it is necessary to address development shortcomings and promote the level of innovation and open-up development,profound existing strengths to advance green and shared development,strengthen policy coordination to achieve coordinated development.
