The spatial evolution and determinants of regional economic resilience in the Pearl River Delta:An analytical perspective based on knowledge bases
This paper used the theoretical tool of knowledge bases,constructed the index sys-tem from five dimensions of production,consumption,labor market,foreign trade and innova-tion to explore the spatial evolution of economic resilience and the impacts of different knowl-edge bases on regional economic resilience in the Pearl River Delta.The results are as follows:①Industrial knowledge bases are differentiated into five types:analytical knowledge base,sym-bolic knowledge base,analytical-synthetic knowledge base,synthetic-analytical-symbolic knowl-edge base,and synthetic-symbolic-analytical knowledge base.②From 2005 to 2019,the region-al economic resilience level of central cities increased noticeably,while that of the eastern and western cities decreased.As a whole,the spatial structure of economic resilience changes from the"double core"of the central and eastern regions to the"single core"of the central regions.③The specialization of analytical knowledge base and proportional equalization of knowledge bas-es significantly improve regional economic resilience,while the specialization of symbolic knowledge base and synthetic-symbolic-analytical knowledge base go against the improvement of economic resilience.④Research and development resources have significant positive effects on the improvement of economic resilience,while economic scale has negative effect.Through the innovative source of knowledge production,understanding and identifying the differences in economic resilience performance of cities with different innovative characteristics can provide a new framework and ideas for the differentiated strategy of enhancing regional resilience and path selection of sustainable development.
