Measurement of the Coupling Coordination between Digital Finance and Regional Economic Development Level and its Dynamic Evolution
This study,using China's eight major comprehensive economic zones as a case study,em-ploys a coupling coordination model to analyze the coupling coordination relationship between digital fi-nance and regional economic development and reveals the regional differences and dynamic evolution patterns of the coordination relationship between digital finance and regional economic development based on the Dagum Gini coefficient and Kernel density.The results indicate that the overall economic development level of the eight comprehensive economic zones shows a stable growth trend,characterized by heterogeneity and periodic features with"higher in the east and lower in the west."The coordination development level between digital finance and regional economic development has increased year by year,and the eight comprehensive economic zones have generally transitioned from a state of imbalance to a coordinated stage.There are significant regional differences in the coordination relationship between digital finance and regional economic development,with coastal economic zones showing a significantly higher coordination level than inland economic zones;However,the regional gap in coordination degree tends to gradually narrow.
