Abstract

New quality productive forces represent the direction of evolution of advanced productive forces, emerging from revolutionary technological breakthroughs, innovative allocation of production factors, and deep transformation and upgrading of industries. This paper employs entropy method, time series analysis, and spatial analysis to explore the comprehensive evaluation and temporal-spatial evolution characteristics of the new quality productive forces in 30 provinces (regions, municipalities) of China from 2013 to 2022, and utilizes a fixed effects model to identify the influencing factors of the new quality productive forces. The results reveal that: (1) From 2013 to 2022, the level of new quality productive forces in China has shown a stable growth trend, with slight fluctuations in the past three years; (2) The level of new quality productive forces in China exhibits a distribution pattern of "east > central > west," with the highest in the east, followed by the central region, and the lowest in the west; (3) The hotspots of new quality productive forces are mainly distributed in the southeastern coastal areas, showing a trend of moving southward, while the cold spots are mainly in the northwest region, with relatively stable distribution; (4) The analysis of influencing factors indicates that factors such as economic development level, fiscal inclination towards science and technology, environmental regulation intensity, and financial development level can significantly enhance the development level of new quality productive forces. This paper systematically analyzes the temporal-spatial evolution and influencing factors of China's new quality productive forces, which is of significant theoretical and practical importance for clarifying the development patterns of new quality productive forces and improving local levels of new quality productive forces.
