Data-Driven Coupling Coordination Development of Regional Innovation EROB Composite System: An Integrated Model Perspective

Abstract

To promote coupling coordination development for regional innovation environment-resource-output-benefit (EROB) composite systems, we propose a data-driven integrated model method for measurement, evaluation, and identification. First, we construct an evaluation indicator system of coupling coordination development of regional innovation EROB composite systems. Second, we apply the entropy method to measure indicator weights and comprehensive development indices of regional innovation composite systems. The coupling coordination degree model is used to calculate and evaluate four subsystems’ coupling coordination development levels. The obstacle degree model is used to identify the main obstacle factors affecting coupling coordination development. Finally, using panel data of the Yangtze River Delta region (three provinces and one city) between 2014–2019 as a case study, we test the integrated model method. The results show that the comprehensive development level of the regional innovation EROB composite system in the Yangtze River Delta region maintained a stable growth trend; the coupling coordination development level among four subsystems continuously improved, with the main obstacle being the innovation resource subsystem. Accordingly, targeted policy suggestions are put forward. This study not only provides theoretical and methodological support for evaluating and optimizing regional innovation composite systems but also provides decision-making support for sustainable and high-quality development of regional economies.

Temporal and Spatial Evolution of the Science and Technology Innovative Efficiency of Regional Industrial Enterprises: A Data-Driven Perspective

“…The Innovations of this study are as follows: (1) From the perspective of research, considering the innovation process and innovation value chain, a scientific and reasonable evaluation index system of science and technology for regional industrial enterprises was constructed. (2) In terms of research methods, considering the relationship between the two stages and the integrity of innovation, a two-stage network DEA model with additional intermediate input was constructed to measure and evaluate regional industrial enterprises' science and technology innovative efficiency. (3) In terms of strategy formulation, this study can provide theoretical support for constructing a periodic dynamic development system and a science and technology innovation mechanism in regional industrial enterprises.…”

“…Assumption u 1 π is the free variable of the first stage; u 2 π is the free variable of the second stage. Drawing on the hypothesis of relevant scholars [2,80] regarding variable return on scale, in each substage, the efficiency of DMU π can be expressed as follows:…”

“…With the global energy crisis and increasingly serious environmental pollution [1], scientific and technological innovation has become the main driving force to support the development of countries [2]. Industrial enterprises above a designated scale are the backbone of national economic development and the most important carrier of technological innovation activities [3,4].…”

Analyzing dynamic coupling and coordination of modern service and advanced manufacturing industries in Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area

“…This was done by analyzing the integrated development levels and coupling coordination degrees of various industries [ [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] ]. Several methods have been used in this area, including the Herfindahl index method [ [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] ], the comprehensive index method for assessing industrial integration development [ 18 , 27 ], the coupling coordination degree model method [ 14 , 20 , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] ], and input-output analysis [ [27] , [33] , [34] ].…”

Multidimensional Measurement and Regulation of Regional Coordinated and Balanced Development Levels: Using the Yangtze River Delta Region in China as an Example

“…Unbalanced and uncoordinated regional development is common in countries worldwide [1], and the southern and western regions of the United States, Hokkaido, Japan, and the southern region of Italy are relatively underdeveloped [2][3][4]. From a worldwide perspective, serious regional development imbalances and uncoordinated development within any country can result in excessive income disparity, cause social problems, and further hinder sustainable economic development [5].…”
