Based on the 2011-2019 provincial panel data of 31 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities)in Chinese Mainland,this study constructs an indicator system of common prosperity from the four dimensions of overall wealth level,difference convergence,structural optimization and sharing degree,measures the common prosperity level of all the provinces by comprehensively using variation coefficient weighting method and Euclidean distance index method,and by adopting multiple methods and models,empirically analyzes the regional differences,dynamic distribution evolution and spatial convergence characteristics of China's common prosperity level.It is found that the gap in China's common prosperity levels is relatively reasonable,and inter-regional differences are the main contributing source to the overall difference,followed by intra-regional differences,with super-variable density being minimal.Meanwhile,the common prosperity levels in the whole country as well as in the eastern,middle and western regions are constantly improving,with the common prosperity levels in the whole country as well as in the middle regions showing an aggregated-type agglomeration form and the common prosperity levels in the eastern and western regions showing a decentralized agglomeration form.Under different spatial weight matrices,the common prosperity levels of the whole country as well as the eastern,middle and western regions show significant spatial convergence characteristics,and the conditional convergence speed is faster.The convergence speed of each region,from highest to lowest,is in the eastern,middle and western regions.Besides,under different spatial weight matrices in different periods,the common prosperity levels of the whole country and the eastern,middle and western regions present significant differences in convergence state and speed,with the common prosperity levels of the whole country and the eastern region being in a convergence state and the common prosperity levels of the middle and western regions showing polarization characteristics under absolute convergence while always being in a convergence state under conditional convergence.Therefore,it is necessary to further improve regional development planning and promote coordinated regional development,promote the balanced development of basic public services and strengthen the governments'role in providing public services to society and the public,and fully implement the new development concept and promote common prosperity.
