Measurement and difference analysis of high-quality development level of ocean economy of China
Based on the panel data of 11 coastal provinces(municipalities directly under the governance of central government)in China from 2011 to 2020,we constructed an indicator system for high-quality development of ocean economy from six dimensions including comprehensive economic strength,degree of scientific and technological innovation,level of coordinated development,capacity for sustainable de-velopment,level of opening to the outside world and improvement of people's livelihood.We used the AHP-entropy weight TOPSIS method to calculate the high-quality development level index of the ocean economy,and discussed the current situation of the high-quality development of the marine economy of China.On this basis,the Theil index and Moran index were used to discuss the regional differences and spatial correlations of high-quality development of the ocean economy.We found that the high-quality development level of the ocean economy of China shows a fluctuating upward trend.The main source of the overall difference in the high-quality development of ocean economy was the regional difference,of which the difference in the southern ocean economic circle was the most significant.There was a signif-icant spatial positive correlation between the high-quality development level of the ocean economy of China,and the provinces and cities with the same high-quality development level showed a certain de-gree of agglomeration in space.
