Stage Of High-quality Development Research Articles

Classification and spatial characteristics of different development stages in China: Evidence from the contribution rate of production factors.

This paper aims to reveal the changing characteristics of the contribution rates of different production factors in China since the reform and opening up from two dimensions: stage and space. The study used national data from 1978 to 2021 and provincial data from 2000 to 2020, combined with methods such as C-D production function and spatial econometrics for analysis. Research has found that: (1) In terms of stage characteristics, during the structural adjustment stage (1978-1998), economic growth mainly relies on capital and labor input, and the contribution rate of land factors gradually decreases. During the high-speed development stage (1998-2012), the contribution rate of technological factors gradually increased, while the contribution rate of land factors remained relatively stable. In the stage of high-quality development (2012 present), the contribution rate of technological factors continued to rise and become the dominant factor, while the contribution rate of land factors has decreased to a lower level. (2) Regarding spatial characteristics, the spatial econometric model reveals significant spatial agglomeration characteristics of capital and labor, and land factors positively affect local and neighboring economic growth. From 2000 to 2020, the contribution rate of capital factors in various provinces showed a difference of "low in the east and high in the west," which decreased year by year. The contribution rates of labor and land factors have declined to low levels in all provinces; The contribution rate of technological elements has significantly increased, with a higher contribution rate in the southeast region; High-quality development progress in each province can be identified based on the contribution rates of different production factors. The research findings help to understand the impact of varying production factors on economic development at a temporal and spatial scale and provide a scientific basis for achieving a high-quality development pattern of rational allocation of factors and regional coordinated development.

Research on the Development Path and Digital Transformation of Specialized, Refined, Unique and New "Little Giant" Enterprises

As China's economy gradually moves towards a stage of high-quality development, the traditional extensive development model is no longer suitable for this transformation demand, and there is an urgent need to shift towards a more intensive, efficient, and sustainable development mode. Innovation is not only the driving force for high-quality development but also the main means of balancing economic and social development. The development of specialized, refined, and innovative "little giant" enterprises can effectively promote technological self-reliance and support the inherent needs and practical paths for the high-quality development of the Chinese economy. Meanwhile, digital transformation is a necessary path for enterprises to adapt to market changes, improve operational efficiency, and innovate business models. Based on this, this article mainly analyzes the development path and digital transformation path design research of specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprises. After analysis, this article believes that the development of small and medium-sized enterprises can be divided into three stages: growth start-up, specialization and innovation, and the "little giant" stage. The three elements of efficiency change, innovation drive, and value co-creation are coordinated, and digital transformation is promoted in three stages. Suggestions are also made for the development of specialized, refined, and innovative "little giant" enterprises.

Meso-Scale Impacts of the Urban Structure Metrics on PM2.5 in China

Currently, China’s urbanization has entered a stage of high-quality development, and rapid urban growth has led to a series of environmental pollution issues, with haze pollution caused by delicate particulate matter (PM2.5) increasingly becoming a focal point for scholars. This paper focuses on Xi’an, Wuhan, Taiyuan, and Lanzhou, exploring the relationship between PM2.5 concentrations using methods such as the Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC), dominance analysis (DA), and ordinary least squares regression (OLSR). The results indicate that (1) Xi’an’s built environment is distributed radially, Wuhan is circular, Taiyuan is grid-like, and Lanzhou is strip-shaped; (2) Xi’an, Wuhan, Taiyuan, and Lanzhou exhibited different development patterns between 2014 and 2022, with Xi’an experiencing rapid urban expansion but lagging infrastructure, while Wuhan focused on improving post-urbanization quality. Taiyuan and Lanzhou advanced expansion and infrastructure construction simultaneously. (3) The regression coefficients of PM2.5 concentration concerning factors such as building density, green space density, road density, and water density in Xi’an are relatively high. In contrast, the regression coefficients of urban spatial structure factors in Wuhan, Taiyuan, and Lanzhou show consistency. This study provides a basis for reducing PM2.5 and explores the interaction and contribution relationship between urban spatial structure and PM2.5, offering a new research perspective for promoting urban sustainable development.

The Evolution of the Spatial–Temporal Pattern of Tourism Development and Its Influencing Factors: Evidence from China (2010–2022)

The Chinese economy has shifted towards a stage of high-quality development, and promoting high-quality development of tourism is of great significance for its sustainable development. Based on the new development concept, using Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial analysis, Moran’s I Index, and the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model, this paper analyzes the spatial–temporal evolution of tourism development in 31 provinces in China during 2010–2022. The findings are as follows: (1) the overall tourism development level of China from 2010 to 2022 was at a medium-low level, showing a spatial distribution pattern of “higher in southeast and lower in northwest”; (2) from the perspective of the Quality–Quantity relationship, the quality of tourism development in China has gradually improved, the regional gap between the east and the west and the internal gap among western regions/provinces have gradually expanded; and (3) tourism innovation and internationalization level are the main influencing factors of high-quality tourism development in China’s provinces, providing practical decision-making references for advancing the high-quality development of tourism.

The generative logic and value implications of Xi Jinping’s "Theory of the Two Hands": An analysis of Xi Jinping’s key exposition on the relationship between government and market

The generation of Xi Jinping’s "Theory of the Two Hands" is logically inevitable. This theory embodies the theoretical continuity and advancement of Marxist classicists and their successors' understanding of the relationship among planning, market, and fundamental social systems. It represents a historical necessity that builds on the Chinese Communist Party’s experience in advancing China’s economic reform, as well as an urgent practical need to refine the socialist market economy in the new era. Xi Jinping’s "Theory of the Two Hands" addresses three dimensions—content and essence of the issue, delineation of roles and functions, and methods and objectives of resolution—thus exploring the government-market relationship across six distinct layers. This approach scientifically answers questions concerning the nature of the problem, the roles and functions involved, the methods of handling it, and the goals it seeks to achieve. Not only does it expand new horizons in contemporary Marxist political economy, but it also deepens the understanding of the laws underlying socialist construction with Chinese characteristics, advancing the socialist market economy of China to a new stage of high-quality development.

The Expansion of Monetary Policy Collateral Promotes Green Innovation of Heavily Polluting Enterprises

Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has developed rapidly, and behind the high growth is the problem of inefficient energy consumption and environmental pollution. China's economy has entered a stage of high-quality development, focusing on innovation-driven and green development, and the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee proposed to promote green development and develop green credit. In this paper, we use a difference-in- difference model to verify the impact of green credit assets on the green innovation of heavily polluting A-share listed enterprises in accordance with the quasi-natural experiment of the inclusion of green credit assets in the MLF qualified collateral framework in June 2018. Results: (1) The expansion policy improved the level of green technology innovation of heavily polluting enterprises; (2) R&D investment intensity plays a strong intermediary role and can promote the green transformation of enterprises; (3) The nature of property rights affects the micro effect of the policy, and the expansion policy has a greater impact on the state-owned heavy polluting enterprises.

The Nature, Logic and Path of New Quality Productive Forces to Promote the High Quality Development of Vocational Education

In the context of the era of New Quality Productive Forces, technological innovation has become the core force to promote the development of social productivity, which is closely linked with vocational education, and together create a strong demand for high-quality technical and skilled personnel.

The key to promoting the high-quality development of vocational education lies in taking technological innovation as the guide, and comprehensively improving the quality of education through measures such as innovating the education model, deepening the integration of industry and education, and enhancing the adaptability of specialties. To this end, vocational education should actively build bridges for the integration of industry and education, enhance the flexibility and adaptability of the education system, innovate the mechanism of talent cultivation, and establish a comprehensive quality assurance system. Together, these efforts will promote vocational education to enter a new stage of high-quality development and provide a solid talent guarantee for the sustainable development of the social economy.

Does the Concept of Green Development Promote High-Quality Urban Development?—An Empirical Analysis Based on the Pilot Policy of the “Zero-Waste City” in China

Since 2019, eighteen major ministries and commissions, including the National Development and Reform Commission, have launched trials for a “zero-waste city”. Shenzhen, Baotou, Tongling, and 16 other cities and regions have entered the practical operation stage, and the significance of the economic effect of the policy pilot needs to be tested through empirical evaluation. This study systematically gathers time series data from 281 prefecture-level cities in China from 2005 to 2022 and constructs an innovative experimental framework for the construction of a zero-waste city. It implements a series of rigorous robustness testing procedures using the difference-in-differences (DID) method to scientifically and objectively measure the actual effects of waste-free city construction strategies in promoting the city’s social development along a high-quality development path. This study provides deep insights into the zero-waste city construction strategy as a strong driving force. Our results indicate that the high-quality development stage has a positive impact on the city as a whole that cannot be ignored. At the same time, in-depth analysis shows that this strategy exhibits strong regional differences in the process of promoting high-quality urban development. For the two core regions of eastern and central China, the implementation of zero-waste city policies has significantly accelerated the pace of high-quality development, and further analysis reveals that, compared with the developed eastern region, the implementation of this policy in the central region has achieved superior results in terms of high-quality development. Third, the benefits of waste-free city policies are related to the economic bases of cities, the number of green patents granted, national policies, geographical location, and other factors.

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence Development on Urban Energy Efficiency—Based on the Perspective of Smart City Policy

China’s economy is stepping into a new stage of high-quality development. The shift not only marks the optimization and upgrading of the economic structure, but also reflects the in-depth implementation of the concept of sustainable development. In this context, the development of AI technology is playing an important role in balancing economic growth and ecological protection with its unique advantages. This paper empirically studied the impact of AI development on urban energy efficiency by constructing panel data for 282 prefecture-level cities from 2006 to 2019 and then using the super-efficiency SBM model based on non-expected outputs to evaluate the urban energy efficiency indicators of prefecture-level cities. It was discovered that the development of AI had a key influence on increasing urban energy efficiency and the optimization of the energy structure by speeding up green technology innovation and digital economy development, which in turn improved urban energy efficiency. In terms of heterogeneity analysis, AI development had a greater impact on urban energy efficiency in the eastern region, which has higher levels of human capital, financial independence, and government intervention. This study combined the smart city pilot policy with a multi-period DID model, based on the treatment of endogeneity issues, in order to perform a parallel trend test and investigate further the effects of policy implementation on the advancement of AI in the context of improving urban energy efficiency. Accordingly, to achieve green and sustainable urban development, the relevant government departments should increase funding for AI research and development, pay attention to the introduction and cultivation of professionals, establish a platform for international exchanges and cooperation between AI and energy management, and continue to advocate for the pilot development of smart cities to increase urban energy efficiency.

A Study on the Impact of Green Finance on the High-Quality Economic Development of Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Region

China’s economy has shifted to a new stage of high-quality development, which means that economic development is no longer simply pursuing the increase of quantity, but a balance of quality and quantity. High-quality economic development (HQED) has become essential for China to achieve sustainable economic and social advancement. This paper explores the influence of green finance on HQED, along with the mediating roles of green innovation and industrial structure upgrading. A fixed-effects model is employed to assess the relationship between green finance and HQED and conduct an empirical test in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region of China. The findings reveal that green finance significantly contributes to the HQED of the BTH region, and green innovation and industrial structure upgrading have intermediary effects in this process. Based on these insights, this paper proposes several strategies to improve HQED in China, including the development of a green financial system, the promotion of green innovation, and the acceleration of industrial structure optimization and upgrading in the BTH region.

The Impact of Capital Market Opening on Enterprise Green Technology Innovation: Insights from the Shanghai–Hong Kong Stock Connect

China’s economy has experienced a period of remarkable growth and entered a stage of high-quality development, necessitating the implementation of innovative eco-friendly practices involving green technology innovation. The capital market environment plays a direct role in influencing the sources and scale of external financing for businesses, thus affecting their green technology innovation activities. The Shanghai–Hong Kong Stock Connect (SHSC) mechanism in China is the first official two-way opening of China’s capital market. Therefore, this paper regards the SHSC policy as a quasi-natural experiment platform for the opening of the capital market and employs a difference-in-difference methodology to investigate the impact of the SHSC policy on enterprise green technology innovation and its influence mechanisms. The overall sample covers Chinese A-share listed enterprises from 2012 to 2017. The findings demonstrate that the SHSC policy significantly enhances the level of green technology innovation by enhancing corporate governance and alleviating financing constraints. Non-state-owned enterprises are more affected than state-owned ones, and there is no significant difference in the impact between heavily polluting industries and non-heavily polluting ones.

Can fintech pave the way for a transition towards low-carbon economy? Examination based on machine learning algorithm.

Realizing the coordination between the economic and environmental systems through a green growth model is an important goal for China to enter the high-quality development stage. Meanwhile, financial technology (fintech) is rapidly developing in China. To explore the relationship between the two, this research uses panel data from 276 cities in China from 2011 to 2022 and empirically tests through constructing econometric models and machine learning algorithms. The empirical result shows that fintech has an impact on green growth. Specifically, there is a U-shaped relationship between fintech and green growth, meaning that before a certain stage, fintech may have a certain inhibitory effect on green growth. After fintech exceeds a certain development level, it will promote the improvement of green growth. Further mediation tests show that innovation plays a mediating role in the impact of fintech on green growth. Additionally, this research also conducts consistency tests based on different criteria including the location, scale, and financial development level of cities. Based on the research findings, policy suggestions are proposed in this paper to promote the development of fintech and stimulate the growth of the green economy. Overall, our research sheds more light on the fintech-green growth linkage and provides new insights into comprehending the role of fintech in advancing towards a low-carbon economy.

Research on the Current Dilemma and Breakthrough Path of China's International Economic and Trade Rules for Elevation Standards

Currently, China has entered a stage of high-quality development. To deepen the new round of high-level opening up to the outside world, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of a domestic institutional system that is connected with international high standard economic and trade rules. This article takes high standard international economic and trade rules as the research object, focusing on the "Three Zero" rules, digital trade, competitive neutrality, intellectual property, government procurement, labor rules, etc. By sorting and summarizing the main rules of high standard economic and trade agreements such as CPTPP, USMCA, DEPA, etc., it analyzes the differences with domestic rule systems and the risks and challenges of China's integration. On this basis, this article proposes countermeasures and suggestions for international economic and trade rules based on elevation standards: firstly, steadily promote high-level opening up to the outside world and enhance the level of trade liberalization and facilitation; Secondly, accelerate the completion of domestic institutional reform and build an open economic system that is compatible with high standard economic and trade rules; Thirdly, actively promote the process of joining CPTPP and DEPA; Fourthly, actively participate in international economic and trade rule negotiations, and deeply participate in rule formulation and reshaping. The research findings of this article will provide useful references for China to further promote high-level opening-up and better participate in the formulation of international economic and trade rules.
