Research on the Measurement of Industrial Digitalization Process and Spatial Correlation in Ethnic Regions
Industrial digitalization is an inevitable choice for the high-quality economic development of ethnic regions.This study constructs an evaluation index system for measuring the digitalization process of industries in ethnic regions from four di-mensions:factor input,tools and equipment,organizational models,and value creation.The entropy method is applied for quanti-tative measurement,and Moran's I Index is used to analyze spatial correlation characteristics.The findings indicate that the in-dustrial digitalization process in ethnic regions is advancing steadily across all dimensions.However,it exhibits a relatively low level overall,progresses faster in the south than in the north,and demonstrates stronger industries in the south compared to the north,with increasing regional correlations.The profit-driven nature of digital technology diffusion,the low-profit environment of industries in ethnic regions,and the mismatch between digital technology and the specific characteristics of these industries are critical factors contributing to the relatively slow digitalization process.A development model characterized by the"dual forces of government and market driving,and the mutual matching of technology and locational advantages"is deemed more suitable for promoting industrial digitalization in ethnic regions.Specific measures include increasing core element investments,upgrading tools and equipment,encouraging organizational model transformation,fostering production method innovation,and improving the regional industrial environment.This study provides insights into the development process and characteristics of industrial digitalization in ethnic regions,explores the intrinsic reasons behind its relative lag,and proposes targeted strategies for transformation,offering valuable references for advancing industrial digitalization upgrades in these areas.
