Construction of China's Common Prosperity Index: an empirical analysis based on AHP-DEMATEL method

Abstract

Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and common aspiration of the people. At present, the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development is still prominent in China, and the gap between urban and rural areas in terms of development and income distribution is large. As China embarks on a new journey to fully build a modern socialist country, there is a long way to go in realizing the common prosperity of all the people. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the statistical measurement of China's common prosperity index. This paper selects the measurement method of China's common prosperity index as the research object, constructs the index evaluation system of China's common prosperity index from three dimensions of development, sharing and sustainability, adopts AHP-DEMATEL method, dimensionless processing and negative index processing to build the common prosperity index measurement model, and uses SPSSPRO, SPSSAU and other program processing software to program and solve the model, and calculates the China Common Prosperity Index for 2019-2022. Finally, for the synthetic index, the empirical analysis was carried out, which concluded that in recent years, China has effectively achieved high-quality development with sustainable development as the main direction, but there are problems such as large differences between urban and rural areas and income distribution. This paper not only provides new ideas for the construction of China's common prosperity index evaluation system and model, but puts forward countermeasures and suggestions for the development of common prosperity, which has certain reference value.
