Spatiotemporal Evolution Analysis and Obstacle Factor Diagnosis of the Coupling and Coordination Between Technological Innovation and High-Quality Economic Development——Take Shandong Province for Example
[Purpose/Significance]Technological innovation is the core driving force for achieving high-quality economic development in Shandong Province.Properly handling the relationship between technological innovation and high-quality economic development is conducive to leading high-quality economic development with high-quality innovation.[Methods/Processes]Selecting 16 cities in Shandong Province from 2012 to 2021 as the research objects,this study constructs an evaluation index system for scientific and technological innovation and high-quality economic development from seven dimensions:innovation input,innovation output,innovation environment,coordinated development,green development,open development,and shared development.The entropy weight method,coupled co scheduling model,and obstacle model are used to analyze the spatiotemporal coupling relationship and obstacle factors between the two.[Limitations]The study failed to explain the synergistic mechanism between technological innovation and high-quality economic development from a meso perspective such as industry.[Results/Conclusions]The results indicate that in terms of time series,the level of scientific and technological innovation,high-quality economic development,and their coupling coordination in Shandong Province are showing an increasing trend year by year,from a state of near imbalance to a primary coordinated state;In terms of space,there is a significant difference in the degree of coupling and coordination between the two.Jinan and Qingdao are good and high-quality coordination areas,coastal cities are in the intermediate and primary coordination stages,and cities in southwestern Shandong are in the transition and imbalance stage;The main obstacles to the coupling of the two are innovation output and open development.Specifically,the number of newly established foreign investment enterprises,import dependence,and the number of papers are the key obstacles to the two.Based on the research results,specific suggestions are proposed to strengthen scientific and technological innovation,enhance high-quality economic development,and enhance the coupling and coordination between the two in Shandong Province.
