In the context of regional economic integration, free-trade port zones (FTPZs) have become a powerful platform for attracting high-quality international investment and promoting national economic development. It is worthwhile, then, to explore the hidden value of the locational factors of FTPZs in the process of their construction. Specifically, analyzing the key locational factors of FTPZs and their influences on the locational value can help to improve the ability of FTPZs to add value through factor congregation and further promote the development of regional economies. This study, therefore, analyzes the locational factors of the Shanghai and Ningbo-Zhoushan free-trade ports using an econometric model. The corresponding external influences of locational factors are examined as well. The results show that regional economic development level, industrial structure, port and shipping system, capital accumulation, talent quality, institutional policies, market scale, market consumption potential, and market openness are the essential factors affecting the locational value of FTPZs. Based on our analysis and comparison of the location characteristics and locational value of the Shanghai and Ningbo-Zhoushan free-trade ports, three constructive suggestions are made to enhance the locational value of free-trade ports based on the actual situation of the Ningbo-Zhoushan free-trade port. These suggestions can also maximize the value of free-trade ports’ locations and promote high-quality regional economic growth.
Free-trade ports (FTPs) have become a means for China to promote economic upgrading, expand international trade, and attract foreign capital. Based on the variables of GDP, distance, language synergy, border conditions, and the exchange rates of trading countries, hypotheses are proposed regarding the influence of Chinese FTPs on the total import and export volume of foreign trade. The gravity model and convergence analysis are established based on the variables, and regression results are obtained using a varying coefficient model with panel data. The Levin-Lin-Chu test is used to test the hypotheses. Based on the results, it is concluded that the GDP, geographical distance, language synergy, and border conditions of Chinese FTPs and target countries significantly affect the import and export volume of foreign trade. Based on the findings, we make five suggestions for increasing the locational value of FTPs.
With the growth of better education, improving the quality of better education has become a top priority. In order to facilitate the sustainable and healthy growth of better education and continuously improve the quality of education for faculty and staff, the Ministry of Education has established a regular assessment system for undergraduate-level education. This article analyzes the quality diagnosis of teaching archives management from the perspective of collaborative education by using the bionic method and summarizes the three methods. In the precision rate, the user interface is the highest, followed by accuracy, security requirements, hardware environment, system maintenance, and information flow; in the recall rate, the security requirements are the highest, followed by the hardware environment, accuracy, user interface, information flow, and system maintenance; in F1, the user interface is the highest, followed by hardware environment, information flow, accuracy, security requirements, and system maintenance. In the particle swarm optimization coverage algorithm, the security requirements are obtained, the user interface accuracy is relatively high, and the hardware environment is relatively low; the system maintenance and hardware environment are the most covered, and the security requirements are the least; the number of rejected samples is the largest. It is the hardware environment and system maintenance, and the least is the security requirement; the most correct number of rejected samples is the hardware environment and system maintenance. The scientific analysis of the quality diagnosis of teaching archives management from the view of collaborative education is extremely important for improvement of teaching. The archives management system can be effective in the process of the archives hardware environment, security requirements, system maintenance, user interface, information flow, and accuracy. The efficiency of the manual management process is improved, and the process is simplified.
