Research on the Measurement of the Development Level of the Modernized Industrial System in the Yangtze River Delta
The modernized industrial system constitutes the economic foundation of Chinese-path to modernization and is pivotal for the Yangtze River Delta(YRD)to lead and exemplify this process.Despite it's important,research on the development of the modernized industrial system in the YRD remains limited.To address this gap,an evaluation index system has been developed,focusing on the three dimensions of"structure,characteristics,and support".The entropy method is employed to assess the construction levels of modernized industrial systems across 27 cities in the YRD from 2013 to 2022.Based on the assessment,the temporal and spatial characteristics of the system's development are analyzed,and the Dagum Gini coefficient is applied to examine regional disparities and their sources.The causes of these disparities are further investigated using the QAP analysis method.The findings indicate several key trends:first,although the overall construction level of the YRD's modernized industrial system remained relatively low during the sample period,a steady upward trend is observed.Among the three dimensions,the industrial support system exhibited the greatest growth,followed by the industrial characteristic system and the industrial structure system.Second,while all regions in the YRD demonstrated improvement in the construction of modernized industrial systems,significant spatial imbalances persists,with the formation of a"Shanghai＞Jiangsu/Zhejiang＞Anhui"pattern.Third,disparities across the YRD continue to widen,with regional differences being the primary source of these disparities.Anhui and Jiangsu contribute substantially to intra-regional variation.Fourth,the advantage gap in industrial clusters(CAIC)emerge as the most influential factor driving differences in construction levels,followed by factors such as industrial upgrading,technological innovation,human resources,modern finance,enterprise competitiveness,and industrial chain modernization.Based on these findings,several recommendations are proposed:fully mobilize various elements to accelerate the modernization of the industrial system,address construction deficiencies and capitalize on locational characteristics to develop differentiated strategies and promote coordinated regional development to reduce disparities.
