Study On Development Level Measurement And Influencing Factors Of Sharing Economy In Western China

The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18 th CPC Central Committee proposed that sharing is the essential requirement of socialism with Chinese characteristics.Sharing development emphasizes both making the pie bigger and dividing it well.The so-called sharing means "shared ownership" and "shared sharing".Sharing economy is a new business form and model that optimizes the allocation of dispersed resources through the Internet platform,improves the efficiency of resource utilization and facilitates people’s life by promoting the innovation of asset ownership,organizational form,employment mode and consumption mode.It is pointed out in the China Sharing Economy Development Report(2022)that the market transaction scale of China’s sharing economy in 2021 will be about 36888.1 billion yuan,with a year-on-year growth of about 9.2%.This shows that the sharing economy is the booster of our economic development and activates the potential of economic development to a certain extent.The development of sharing economy can improve the utilization rate of resources,improve the efficiency of distribution,contribute to the development of the tertiary industry,provide employment opportunities,narrow the gap between urban and rural areas,improve people’s livelihood,improve people’s living standards,provide people with living security,and achieve common prosperity.This paper selects the western region as the main research object,uses the provincial panel data of the western region from 2014 to 2020,combines the local characteristics of each region in the western region,adopts the entropy method,constructs the sharing development evaluation system from the four aspects of universal sharing,comprehensive sharing,co-construction sharing and progressive sharing,and measures and evaluates the development level of sharing economy in the western region.Furthermore,the empirical analysis method of impact factor is adopted to analyze how to influence the development of sharing economy from four aspects: the degree of government intervention,the industrial structure,the level of resident consumption and the level of foreign trade development.The conclusions are as follows: First,the conclusions are drawn from the evaluation and analysis model:(1)The development level of sharing economy in the western region will be significantly improved in an allround way from 2014 to 2020;(2)The comprehensive sharing index of the western region is much higher than that of the whole people sharing index,co-construction sharing index and progressive sharing index;(3)The growth rate of the national sharing index in the western region is much higher than that of the comprehensive sharing index,co-construction sharing index and progressive sharing index;(4)The shared development index of the less developed areas in the western region is improved faster than that of the relatively developed areas;(5)The growth rate of the shared development index of the less developed areas in the western region is much faster than that of the relatively developed areas.Second,through the empirical analysis of the impact factors,the conclusion is drawn:(1)the degree of government intervention has a stable and regulating effect on the development of sharing economy,and provides financial support for the development of sharing economy;(2)The industrial structure and the development of sharing economy influence each other.The development of the tertiary industry provides human and technical support for the development of sharing economy.The development of sharing economy also increases the output value of the tertiary industry and the types of the tertiary industry;(3)The two-way influence of residents’ consumption level and sharing economy.The improvement of residents’ consumption level can stimulate the development of sharing economy and increase the market transaction volume of sharing economy.The development of sharing economy can improve residents’ consumption level;(4)The level of foreign trade development has a promoting effect on the sharing economy.Vigorously developing foreign trade can accelerate the circulation of domestic and foreign resources,so as to integrate domestic and foreign resources and improve the utilization rate of resources.Based on this,this paper puts forward relevant policy suggestions:(1)While continuing to promote comprehensive sharing,more attention should be paid to the synchronous improvement of universal sharing,coconstruction and progressive sharing.(2)Reduce the incidence of poverty and narrow the gap between urban and rural areas.(3)Vigorously develop the tertiary industry,raise the labor participation rate,increase labor remuneration,and develop the sharing economy.4)Raising people’s income and consumption levels and improving people’s quality of life.(5)Vigorously develop foreign trade and integrate domestic and foreign resources.The innovation of this research is as follows:(1)research perspective innovation.Sharing economy,the research topic of this paper,is a relatively new concept,which has attracted extensive attention from domestic scholars in recent years.However,most of the existing researches focus on the development level of sharing economy in the whole country or among provinces,and there are few research results on the development of regional sharing economy.(2)Innovation in research direction.This paper uses the evaluation and analysis model to evaluate and analyze the development of sharing economy from four dimensions: universal sharing,comprehensive sharing,co-construction sharing and progressive sharing,providing qualitative and quantitative basis for improving the development of sharing economy in western China.
