Regional Differences and Distributional Dynamic Evolution of the Development Level of China's New Rural Collective Economy
The development path of new rural collective economy is suitable to China's national conditions.It plays a crucial role in promoting comprehensive rural revitalization.This paper studies 2,517 counties in China from 2014 to 2022,constructing and measuring"evaluation index system"of the development level of new rural collective economy from the dimensions of breadth,scale,and efficiency.Moreover,this paper employs Dagum Gini coefficient,stochastic Kernel density,and Markov chain to investigate regional differences and distributional dynamic evolution patterns of the development level of China's new rural collective economy based on regional division of sample counties at the provincial level The main findings are as follows.First,measurement results show that the development level of new rural collective economy displays an upward trend,but it is still in the emerging development stage and at a low level It is necessary to enhance the benefit dimension and optimize the development level in western provinces.Second,from the perspective of regional differences,the overall difference in the development level of new rural collective economy remains high from 2014 to 2017.However,the difference narrows from 2018 to 2022.Inter-regional differences are the main source of the overall differences,which contribute over 80%.Among them,western provinces such as Tibet and eastern provinces such as Zhejiang have the most prominent differences.Third,from the perspective of distribution dynamic evolution,distribution mobility of the development level of new rural collective economy is evident when the influence of adjacent regions is not considered.Specifically,the regions of low,medium-low,and medium-high development levels exhibit a dynamic evolution pattern of upward transition.However,after reaching a certain level,a convergence trend is evident When considering the influence of adjacent regions,there is a strong positive spatial correlation among majority regions.Nevertheless,regions with high development levels do not easily establish spatial correlations with neighboring regions.This paper provides empirical evidence for understanding the development of China's new rural collective economy.It aims at offering insights to create coordinated development policies for new rural collective economy.
