Abstract:
The research of regional linkage and its transformation mechanism from the perspective of high-quality economic development not only helps to understand the overall situation and linkage of regional economic development in the new period, but also can provide important decision-making basis to realize coordinated regional economic development of high quality. Based on the quantitative identification of the regional linkage effect of China's high-quality economic development, this paper analyzes the regional linkage and its transformation mechanism with the framework of the four plates. The results show that: China's high-quality economic development shows obvious characteristics of plate economy. In recent years, the radiation pulling effect between the eastern plate and the central plate and within the western plate and the eastern plate has formed. Population mobility, the establishment of special economic zones, and the narrowing gap in green development contribute to the transformation from siphon effect to radiation effect of regional linkage. To benefit the relatively less developed provinces in each plate with more radiation effect, the central plate and the northeast plate could give priority to the regulation within the plate. In the western plate, population mobility and growth pole should be strengthened to promote the transformation of linkage effect. The eastern plate should focus on the constraint effect of green development gap on the transformation of regional linkage.
