| The Commerce and distribution industry,as a basic and dominant industry of national economic development,plays a vital role in guiding production,promoting consumption,promoting the virtuous cycle of the national economy and long-term development,and improving the effectiveness of the national economy.Especially in the domestic consumer market continues to grow,consumption structure continues to upgrade the background of the new development pattern,accelerate the optimization of the structure of the trade circulation industry,but also to improve and increase the efficiency of commodity distribution,smooth the national economic cycle of a strong guarantee.With the advent of the new technology revolution,new technology morphology represented by the Internet of Things,big data,artificial intelligence are gradually penetrating into the trade model and industry chain development of the trade circulation industry,the main body of the trade circulation industry,the organizational structure and operation mechanism of the trade circulation industry are undergoing great changes and reconfiguration,new scenarios,new business models and new modes are continuously generated and deepened.The emergence of these situations,on the one hand,puts forward new requirements for the innovative development of the trade circulation industry,and on the other hand,new requirements have been put forward,on the other hand,the transformation and upgrading of the trade circulation industry provides a rare opportunity.Technological innovation is regarded as a new driving force to promote the transformation and upgrading of the trade circulation industry,which has become an important way and an inevitable trend to transform and upgrade the trade circulation industry.So,does technological innovation contribute to the transformation and upgrading of the trade and distribution industry?Whether we can rely on technological innovation to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the trade and distribution industry will be the key to the sustainable release of China’s domestic demand potential and the achievement of high-quality development of the circulation industry,which is also a realistic and urgent research issue for China.The Yangtze River Economic Zone has both strong potential and strength in science and technology innovation,and is a representative region with very active development of commerce and distribution industry,so the research and solution of this issue is even more urgent.Therefore,this paper takes the Yangtze River Economic Zone as the research space scope and focuses on the mechanism and realistic impact of technological innovation driving the transformation and upgrading of the trade circulation industry in the Yangtze River Economic Zone,which not only helps to min for theoretical implications of technological innovation influencing the transformation and upgrading of the trade circulation industry in the Yangtze River Economic Zone,but also helps to promote the optimization of the industrial structure and functional extension of the trade circulation industry within the Yangtze River Economic Zone and the overall trade circulation industry,and most importantly,for The most important s is to promote the Yangtze River economic belt and even the national trade circulation industry with high quality development is of great significance.Based on the above facts,this thesis firstly defines the connotation of technological innovation and transformation and upgrading of commerce circulation industry based on relevant literature and theoretical combing,builds a theoretical analysis framework of transformation and upgrading of commerce circulation industry,and analyzes the mechanism of technological innovation affecting transformation and upgrading of commerce circulation industry.Secondly,the global principal component approach was applied in the comprehensive evaluation of technological innovation and the transformation and upgrading level of the trade circulation industry in the Yangtze River economic belt from 2010 to 2019,and based on the measurement results of technological innovation and trade circulation industry,their dynamic trends and spatial evolution characteristics are analyzed.Next,a spatial econometric model with spatial effects is applied to analyze the spatial effects of technological innovation on the transformation and upgrading of the trade circulation industry in the Yangtze River Economic Zone.The empirical results found that the transformation and upgrading level of the trade circulation industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt as a whole and in each province and city showed an increasing trend.There is indeed a spatial correlation between technological innovation and transformation and upgrading of the trade circulation industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt,and technological innovation can indeed empower the transformation and upgrading of the trade circulation industry in the region and the surrounding areas.Finally,this paper proposes policy recommendations in five aspects: strengthening government support,strengthening the independent innovation capability of circulation enterprises,cultivating circulation professionals,strengthening regional exchanges,and insisting on opening up to the outside world. |
