An Analysis of the Coupling Coordination Degree of Digital Logistics,Agricultural and Pastoral Development,and Regional Economic Growth:-A Case Study of the Three Border Provinces of China
Based on the indicator system of digital logistics(L),agricultural and pastoral development(A),and re-gional economic growth(E),this study employs the TOPSIS method with comprehensive weights from AHP-CRITIC to measure the LAE(L,A,E)levels in the three border provinces(Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,Tibet Autonomous Region)from 2013 to 2022.Subsequently,the coupling coordination degree model and kernel density estimation are used to explore the dynamic evolution process of the LAE coupling coordination.The study also analyzes the influencing factors in the coupling coordination process through obstacle factor analysis and regression models.The results indicate that there are disparities in the LAE levels across the three provinces,ranked from high to low as follows:Inner Mongolia,Xinjiang,and Tibet.Strong coupling relationships exist among the LAE in each province,with Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang showing an up-ward trend in their LAE coupling coordination degree,while the LAE coupling coordination of Xizang fluctuates over time.The coupling coordination of LAE is positively influenced by transportation accessibility,technologi-cal innovation,and the scale of agricultural and pastoral development,while environmental regulations have a suppressive effect on LAE coupling coordination.Based on the LAE levels of the three border provinces,this pa-per analyzes the coupling coordination degree and its influencing factors,providing a reference for the effective implementation of related policies in these regions.
