    Abstract (331) PDF (109)
    Accelerating the construction of an innovation system centered on new quality productivity is an important foundation for China to accelerate the realization of high-level technological self-reliance and high-quality development.This paper constructs a new quality productivity level indicator measurement system from three dimensions of new quality workers,new quality labor materials and new quality labor objects.This paper uses the projection pursuit model to measure the development level of new quality productivity at the prefecture level city level in China in 2011~2021,and uses Dagum Gini coefficient method,Kernel density estimation method,and Moran's I to comprehensively explore and verify the dynamic evolution characteristics of new quality productivity on different time and space dimensions.This paper finds that the development level of new quality productive forces is showing a steady growth trend.Compared to new quality workers and new quality labor objects,new quality labor materials account for a larger proportion of new quality productive forces.There are significant differences in the development level of new quality productivity among different regions.Among them,the eastern region is the highland for the development of new quality productivity,while the western and northeastern regions are the depression for the development of new quality productivity.Moreover,there are also significant differences in the level of new quality productivity within the region.The emergence of new quality productivity has a certain degree of coordination with production relations,and new quality productivity can positively promote the improvement of total factor productivity in the region.This article provides a reference on how to capture the dynamic evolution characteristics of new quality productivity and how production relations can better guide the energy efficiency of new quality productivity.

    Abstract (271) PDF (76)
    Since the establishment of the PRC,our Party's understanding of the law of economic works has developed and deepened increasingly along with the times,from Mao Zedong's On Ten Major Relations to Deng Xiaoping's "science and technology constitute a primary productivity", and further to the General Secretary Xi Jinping's "obtaining an integration of technology and innovation resources,leading the development of new strategic industries and future industries to speed up the formation of new quality productivity". The General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the 11th Group Study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held on January 31,2024 has pushed this understanding to a new height. When presiding over the study,the General Secretary clearly pointed out that "we must bear in mind that high-quality development is the hard truth of the new era"; "high-quality development needs the guidance of new theory of productivity,and the new quality productivity has taken shape in practice and shown a strong impetus and support for high-quality development.All this calls upon us to sum up and generalize in theory to guide our new development practice". He also emphasized that "technological innovation can foster new industries,new models and new growth drivers,and is the core element of developing new quality productivity". In order that we can thoroughly study and carry out the spirit of the General Secretary's speech and focus on the core topics of economic development in the new era of "developing new quality productivity and promoting high-quality economic development", this magazine sincerely invites articles from famous domestic experts and scholars for the sake of our readers.

    High-quality industrial development is an important foundation for high-quality economic development, and it is also the fundamental premise for building the economic development pattern in the new era.Based on the three dimensions of industrial coordination, industrial integration and industrial green development, this paper constructs China’s industrial high-quality development index, and analyzes the time evolution characteristics, spatial differences, sources and convergence of the industrial high-quality development index from 2011 to 2021.Research has found that the high-quality development level of China’s industries shows a clear upward trend, characterized by a decreasing distribution pattern in the east, middle, and west, while the growth rate shows an opposite distribution pattern to the ranking; there is a clear improvement trend in the spatial differences of high-quality industrial development, with the Gini coefficient showing a downward trend across the country and in the eastern and western regions.The Gini coefficient in the central region shows an evolutionary trend of first decreasing and then fluctuating upward; from the distribution characteristics of nuclear density curves in the three major regions of the east, west, and central regions, it can be seen that the overall level of high-quality industrial development in the east and central regions is increasing, with a certain polarization trend, but the absolute difference is gradually narrowing; the overall high-quality development of industries in the western region is on the rise, with absolute differences narrowing and no polarization phenomenon; at the same time, regions of different levels have strong stability, and the possibility of demotion and transition is relatively small.

    Digital economy is an important force to promote common wealth in high-quality development.Based on the panel data of 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China from 2013 to 2021,this paper constructs a preliminary evaluation model through citespace, and then applies R clustering and coefficient of variation to screen the indicators, and finally determines the evaluation index system of common wealth and digital economy.On this basis, combining NCA and fsQCA methods, we explore the grouping mechanism of common wealth driven by six factors of digital economy.The results reveal that the level of common prosperity in China is showing a positive trend, but it remains at a moderate level with significant disparities between regions.It is evident that individual numerical economic factors alone are not a necessary condition for achieving a high level of common prosperity.In driving the vision of high common prosperity, the levels of digital economic benefits and the digital environment play a crucial role.Together with other factors, they form four paths: “Level-Environment Dominant Dual-Scale Driven”, “Level-Environment Dominant Dual-Drive Basic Ability”, “Level-Environment Dominant Triple-Drive Scale” and “Level-Environment Dominant Triple-Drive Ability” .These paths generate five configurations that do not lead to high common prosperity.

    The digital economy and green technology innovation will be the twin engines driving China's high-quality green development in the new era.Using panel data of 285 prefecture-level cities in China from 2011 to 2021 and the dynamic spatial Durbin model, this paper empirically examines the impact of the digital economic development on urban green development efficiency and identifies the driving mechanism of green technology innovation.The results show that the green development efficiency of citi-es shows a strong alarm effect in the time dimension and a significant spillover effect in the spatial dimension.The digital economy can simultaneously promote the improvement of local and spatially related green development efficiency, which is significant in both the long and short term and still holds after a series of robustness tests.Heterogeneity analysis shows that the direct and indirect effects of the digital economy on green development efficiency are significantly affected by differences in urban resource endowments and innovation performance.The mechanism analysis shows that the digital economy can improve local green development efficiency by guiding the direction of green technology innovation, expanding the scale of green technology innovation, and improving the quality of green technology innovation.Its spatial spillover effect is currently mainly achieved by guiding the direction of green technology innovation.

    The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasizes that sustainable develop is crucial to building a comprehensive socialist economic system.This paper takes A-share listed companies from 2009 to 2021 as research samples and uses a staggered DID model to empirically test the relationship between employee stock ownership plan and corporate social responsibility.The study finds that employee stock ownership plan significantly improves corporate social responsibility performance.The mechanism test shows that employee stock ownership plan alleviates financing constraints and thereby enhances corporate social responsibility.Further analysis shows that these effects are more pronounced in firms with better internal control system, higher media attention and in more competitive industries.This study contributes the literature on labor and finance, and provides insights on achieving sustainable development.

    The Party's report on the 20th National Congress of the People's Party of China (CPC) emphasizes the “planned and step-by-step implementation of the carbon peak action”,which objectively requires scientific measurement of the phase and effectiveness of carbon emission reduction in green GDP.Based on the scenario analysis technique and the theory of green GDP accounting, this paper measures the changing trend of green GDP in our country.The findings are as follows: first, China's participation in global carbon emission reduction governance has entered a new stage after its accession to the WTO.In Phase Ⅰ(2002~2012),China is a passive recipient of global carbon reduction governance; in Phase Ⅱ(2012~2030),China is an active parti-cipant in global carbon reduction governance.The above two stages can be further subdivided into: Ⅰ.1 stage(2002~2008),carbon emission explosion stage; Ⅰ.2 stage(2008~2012),air refueling stage of carbon emission; Ⅱ.1 stage(2012~2020),the shift stage of carbon emission deceleration; Ⅱ.2 stage(2020~2030),the carbon peak stage.Second, we can only achieve the 2030 carbon peak under a low carbon emission scenario.In a low-carbon scenario, technological progress is the key to enhancing economic resilience.To achieve green transformation, the troika of consumption, investment and exports needs to work toget-her.Third, the key to carbon emission reduction in the new era is to build a green energy supply system based on zero-carbon electricity, among which it is particularly important to establish an efficient coupling mechanism between high-energy semiconductor industry and new energy industry chain and innovation chain.

    With global value chain reconstruction and deepening anti-globalization development, China pays more attention to the deep integration and development of logistics manufacturing industry(that is“integration of the two industries”).Many scholars have carried out relevant studies on the integration policy of the two industries, but the existing studies lack of in-depth exploration on the impact of enterprise performance.Therefore, this study focuses on the policy document“Implementation Plan for Promoting the Deep Integration and Innovative Development of the Logistics Industry and Manufacturing Industry”,issued by the National Development and Reform Commission.It selects 614 logistics and manufacturing companies listed on the A-share market in China between 2018 and 2022.By constructing a Propensity Score Matching-Double Difference(PSM-DID)model, this study evaluates the effects of the policy.The conclusions of this study can be summarized in three aspects: first, it verifies that the policy has a positive effect on the performance of the logistics industry and manufacturing enterprises in China.Second, due to organizational inertia and other reasons, there is a lag in the promotion effect of the“integration of industries”policy.Third, regarding the heterogeneity of the impact, the promotion effect of the“integration of industries”policy is better for larger enterprises, while it is less significant for smaller enterprises.In terms of industry classification, contrary to our assumption that the“integration of industries”policy would have a greater impact on logistics enterprises, it actually has a better promotion effect on manufacturing enterprises.In terms of regional differences, the“integration of industries”policy has a stronger promotion effect on enterprises in economically developed regions, demonstrating the advantages of these regions.Based on the above conclusions, this paper puts forward relevant suggestions for enterprises and governments to promote the integration of the two industries.
