SPATIAL DIFFERENTIATION OF URBAN ECONOMIC RESILIENCE AND ITS INFLUENCING FACTORS: EVIDENCE FROM BAIDU MIGRATION BIG DATA

Under the development pattern of the “double cycle”, optimizing urban economic resilience is tremendously meaningful to improving a city’s affordability and the adaptability of the economy and to promoting the Chinese economy to develop with high quality. Based on Baidu migration big data perspective, exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) and multi-scale geographical weighted regression (MGWR) model were used to analyze the spatial characteristics and driving factors of economic resilience in 287 Chinese cities in 2019. The results show that (1) the number of low-level economically resilient cities is the largest and distributed continuously, while the number of high-level economically resilient cities is the lowest and distributed in clusters and blocks; (2) compared with the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta, the population accumulation characteristic of the Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei region is relatively slow; (3) Both net inflow of population after spring festival and daily flow scale are significantly correlated with urban economic resilience, and the former will affect urban economic resilience; and (4) the spatial heterogeneity of each factor driving is significant, and they have different impact scales. The impact intensity is as follows: net population inflow > innovation ability > public financial expenditure > financial efficiency > urban size.

The Correlation Effect between Transportation and Economy in Beijing-Tianjin-Heibei area: An analysis Based on PVAR Model

Based on the annual panel data of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area from 1985 to 2018, this paper established a Panel Vector Autoregressive Model, variance decomposition, and impulse response function analyzing the linkage effect between the transportation and regional economy. The conclusions are as follows: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei transportation integration and regional economic integration development are mutually reinforcing, but the results of variance decomposition show that they have different pulling forces, and the latter is more effectively than the former. The impulse response analysis show that the development of railways has made greater contributions to regional economic development than highways. In summary, there is a close relationship between the transportation integration and regional economic integration in the Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei region. They promote and coordinate with each other, but how to strengthen the relationship between them to make the area develop faster, more further research is needed.

Research on Environmental Quality Evaluation System of Coordinated Development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region

Since the coordinated development plan of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was put forward, environmental protection and pollution control have become the primary breakthrough of coordinated development. The ecological environment problem in Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei region has been the bottleneck factor restricting the integrated development. It is of great significance for environmental protection and economic development to establish a coordinated assessment mechanism for ecological environment quality in Beijing-Tianjin- Hebei region. This study analyzed the progress and effectiveness of the assessment of ecological environment quality in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, analyzed the problems and challenges in the assessment of ecological environment in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and put forward some suggestions on the establishment of the mechanism of joint environmental prevention and control under the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Empirical Research on the Relationship among Human Capital, Technological Innovation Capability and Economic Growth in Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei Region

This paper analysed the relationship among human capital stock, science and technology innovation capacity and regional economic growth comprehensively, by using 2000-2014 panel data of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic region. The main conclusions are as follows: human capital stock, scientific and technological innovation capacity and regional economic growth has long-term cointegration relationship in the region, and the level of human capital stock’s promote can more improve the regional economic growth significantly. Finally, this paper put forward some corresponding policy recommendations to promote the positive interaction of human capital investment, scientific and technological innovation and economic growth of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
