Abstract

In this paper, the method of mutual information is used to study the economic dependence among the provinces in Chinaʼs Eastern Coastal Economic Belt from 2015 to 2020, and the core structure of the dependence is depicted. The results show that, first of all, there is a wide range of economic dependence among the provinces in the Eastern Coastal Economic Belt, and the dependence changes with the different states of economic development. Secondly, the phenomenon of geographical clustering is not obvious. Most provinces maintain a strong economic dependence relationship with the economically developed provinces, and this dependence relationship is relatively stable, while the economically underdeveloped provinces are often on the edge of the dependence structure. Finally, the economically developed provinces maintain strong economic dependence with each other, such as Jiangsu (No. 7), Shandong (No. 9), and Zhejiang (No. 12), and Beijing (No. 1), Guangdong (No. 3), and Shanghai (No. 10). However, the former three provinces are more in the core position of this structure, that is, the other provinces maintain the stronger dependence relationship with these three provinces.

Highlights

At present, the development of China has entered a new era of comprehensively deepening reform and opening-up and is in a critical period of transforming from a stage of highspeed growth to a stage of high-quality development
Whether it is the overall consideration of the four regional development strategies, or the demonstration role of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the coordinated development of the national region, all of them put forward strong direction and guidance for local economic and social development, and the coordinated development of the region adapts to Chinas future regional development strategy, conforms to the development concept of regional opening, cooperation, and coordination, and is conducive
We first calculate the mutual information among the regional indexes of 12 provinces in the Eastern Coastal Economic Belt of China, which represents the degree of economic dependence among the provinces

Summary

Introduction

The development of China has entered a new era of comprehensively deepening reform and opening-up and is in a critical period of transforming from a stage of highspeed growth to a stage of high-quality development. At the national level, more attention has been paid to the construction of the top-level design, and more attention has been paid to the overall planning and integrity of regional planning. Whether it is the overall consideration of the four regional development strategies, or the demonstration role of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the coordinated development of the national region, all of them put forward strong direction and guidance for local economic and social development, and the coordinated development of the region adapts to Chinas future regional development strategy, conforms to the development concept of regional opening, cooperation, and coordination, and is conducive
