Research On The Spatial-temporal Differences And Driving Factors Of Common Prosperity In China

Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and the beautiful ideal of the Chinese nation since ancient times.China is currently in a critical period of promoting the realization of common prosperity,and in this context,it is of great significance to analyze the present status and identify the driving factors of common prosperity.Based on the statistical data of 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020,this paper uses the entropy value method to calculate the common prosperity index,analyzes it from the national,regional and provincial levels,and then analyzes the spatial characteristics.This paper selects economic development,education development,infrastructure,industrial structure and digital economy as the driving factors,and empirically analyzes the impact of various driving factors on common prosperity by using the fixed-effect model and the spatial Dubin model.Finally,the research conclusions and policy implications are put forward.The main research conclusions are:(1)The level of common prosperity from 2011 to 2020 showed a trend of volatile increasing,and material prosperity contributed the most to common prosperity,followed by livable living environment,narrowing of population gap and rich spiritual life,and the narrowing of urban-rural gap and regional gap contributed relatively little to the common prosperity of China.From a regional perspective,the common wealth index of the south is higher than that of the north,while the wealth of the south is slightly higher than that of the north,and the degree of commonality is slightly lower than that of the north;From the perspective of eastern,central and western regions,the level of common prosperity decreases in the east,central and western regions,and the development gap between the east and the central and western regions is large,and the development gap between the central and western regions is small.From the perspective of the provincial level,China’s common prosperity is not balanced in space,showing the characteristics of "high in the east and low in the west",and 11 provinces such as Shanghai,Beijing,Jiangsu and Zhejiang belong to the first echelon.19 provinces such as Hebei,Ningxia and Chongqing belong to the second echelon;In terms of common prosperity development types,7 provinces such as Beijing,Shanghai and Jiangsu belong to the common prosperity type,Shandong,Inner Mongolia,Hebei and Henan belong to the priority prosperity type,7 provinces such as Anhui,Hunan and Hubei belong to the priority common type,and 11 provinces such as Shanxi,Shaanxi and Jilin belong to the double lag type.(2)The results of global spatial autocorrelation indicated that common prosperity showed the characteristics of spatial agglomeration;The results of local spatial autocorrelation showed that most provinces had H-H-shaped or L-L-type aggregation,accounting for about 80% of the 30 provinces.Some of the eastern coastal areas can drive the surrounding areas to prosperity.(3)Economic development,education development,infrastructure,industrial structure high polarization and digital industrialization can drive common prosperity development,and the driving role of economic development and education development is more obvious;Digital infrastructure has a certain inhibitory effect on common prosperity;The rationalization of industrial structure and industrial digitalization have little impact on common prosperity.After considering the spatial factors,it is found that the level of education development and infrastructure construction have a reverse spatial spillover effect on common prosperity,and the rationalization of industrial structure and digital industrialization have a positive spatial spillover effect on common prosperity to a certain extent.
