A method to evaluate the economic growth quality of high-tech industry in China and its regional linkage

Abstract

Based on China’s provincial panel data, this study uses entropy weight model and vector autoregressive model to measure the economic growth quality of high-tech industries in China and test the interaction effect among regions. It is found that the quality of economic growth of high-tech industries in China has shown a steady growth trend during the study period, but there are obvious differences in the growth level among regions. The economic growth quality of high-tech industries in the eastern region is obviously stronger than that in the central region and the western region. In addition, the economic growth quality of high-tech industries in the eastern region is likely to have a siphon effect on the central region and the western region, while the central region is likely to have a radiation effect on the western region
