Abstract
This article constructs a comprehensive evaluation index system from four aspects: economic vitality, innovation efficiency, green development, and people’s lives. Use the entropy method to comprehensively measure the urban competitiveness level of 25 counties and cities in the economic zone, clarify the differences in their high-quality development levels, and use spatial econometric analysis methods to study the spatial agglomeration and dispersion and spatial convergence of regional urban competitiveness. The results show that the following: (1) the overall high-quality development level of the Huaihe River Eco-Economic Zone is not high, and the overall time and space characteristics is “high in the east and low in the west”; (2) there is a positive spatial autonomy in urban competitiveness and the spatial distribution of the Huaihe River, and relevantly, the degree of closeness of spatial associations between cities is generally low; (3) the gap between the level of urban competitiveness in Jiangsu Province is shrinking, the development of other provinces has a time lag effect, and there are differences in the level of urban competitiveness. Finally, to promote the high-quality development of the Huaihe Economic Zone, we must follow the law of the basin and the characteristics of spatial distribution and implement targeted strategies.
Highlights
Through exploring the potential relationship between urban competitiveness and economic growth and the spatial correlation of regional economic growth, it puts forward relevant suggestions
E comprehensive score of the entropy method shows that, from 2005 to 2017, due to the influence of the economic situation radiation of Jiangsu from the south of Jiangsu Province to the middle of Jiangsu Province and to the north of Jiangsu Province, Yangzhou and Taizhou City have been ranked in the top two in terms of urban competitiveness in recent years, but they have declined to a certain extent in 2018
The cities with high quality and high level of development in Huaihe ecological economic belt are all cities in Jiangsu Province, so we should give full play to the role of Jiangsu Province and other provinces in economic radiation and promote the economic development of other provinces and cities
Summary
With regard to the research on urban competitiveness, foreign scholars started early in this field, and a large number of research results have emerged. Taking regional agriculture as the research object, they calculated and analyzed the temporal and spatial differences of agricultural green water resources utilization rate and efficiency in different cities, studied the impact mechanism, and provided decision support for the coordinated development of water resources in Huaihe River economic belt. In order to achieve high-quality development, GDP, which represents the output level, maintains stable growth, while its internal composition is constantly optimized and its gold content is constantly improved, and the proportion of “two ends” in the global industrial value chain reaches a high level; coordinated development of various proportional relationships means that the three major industries have a good structure, the proportion of investment, export, and consumption is reasonable, and the new economy and new kinetic energy industry have competitive advantages. Erefore, this paper constructs a high-quality development evaluation system of the Yangtze River economic belt, which consists of 28 indicators in five aspects: green development, economic quality, innovation ability, people’s life, and open cooperation. Innovation efficiency index: innovation is the first driving force of development, and the level of innovation is
