“…Our definition of combined efforts in coordination breaks down the concept of rural–urban equity-efficiency coordination development into two dimensions: “common” and “prosperity.” “Common” means a reduction in the disparities between urban and rural areas in health expenditure burden and health resources allocations [ 24 ]. “Prosperity” means achieving higher productivity [ 25 , 26 ], which is necessary to improve resources allocation through innovations in medical technology and medical institution management and to maximize output efficiency in China’s MHS with a fixed amount of human, financial, and material resources [ 27 , 28 ]. Maximizing the output efficiency of China’s MHS is the premise and foundation for achieving equitable medical and public health services.…”

Background Equity and efficiency are basic value dimensions to evaluate the effectiveness of China’s medical and health service system (MHS) reform and development. Coordinated development of equity and efficiency is necessary to realize high-quality development of medical and health services. This study aims to evaluate the equity, efficiency, and combined efforts in coordinating the MHS during 1991–2020 reform. Methods Data on China’s MHS were obtained from the China Statistical Yearbook 1992–2021. Ratios of urban to rural residents’ medical expenditure and number of medical professionals per 10,000 people were employed to evaluate MHS’s equity. The data envelopment analysis-Malmquist model was employed to evaluate MHS’s efficiency. We constructed a combined-efforts-in-coordination model to examine the coordination degree between equity and efficiency. Results Equity of medical expenditure burden significantly improved from during 1991–2007. Urban residents’ 1991 medical expenditure burden was 87.8% of that of rural residents, which increased to 100.1% in 2007. Urban areas’ mean medical expenditure burden was 105.94% of that in rural areas during 1991–2007. The gap in equity of medical expenditure burden between urban and rural areas slowly widened after 2007, with urban areas’ mean burden being 68.52% of that in rural areas during 2007–2020. Medical and health resources allocation shows an alarming inequity during this period, with mean number of medical professionals per 10,000 people in urban areas being 238.30% of that in rural areas. Efficiency experienced several fluctuations before 2008. Since 2008, efficiency was high (0.915) and remained stable, except in 2020. The combined-efforts-in-coordination score for medical expenditure burden was less than 0.2 for 80% of the years, while that for in medical and health resources was more than 0.5 for 99.67% of the years. Conclusions MHS inequity remains between urban and rural China, primarily because of disproportionate allocation of medical and health resources. The government should enhance rural medical professionals’ salary and welfare and provide medical subsidies for rural residents to adjust resource allocation levels in urban and rural areas, control differences in medical expenditure burden between urban and rural residents to a reasonable range, and continuously improve urban and rural residents’ equity level.

“…Therefore, to promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas and facilitate rural CP, it is necessary to solve the problem of unreasonable resource allocation. The per capita disposable income of rural residents [ 28 , 29 ], the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery [ 28 ], and the consumer price index of rural residents [ 29 ] reflect the gap in income, production scale, and consumption level between urban and rural areas, respectively, and comprehensively measure the level of rural material prosperity.…”

“…Therefore, it is necessary to promote the sharing of elements such as infrastructure, healthcare, and social security and to continuously reduce income disparities. The number of household cars owned by every 100 households in rural areas [ 29 ], the number of beds in medical and health institutions per 10,000 people in rural areas [ 29 , 30 ], and the number of urban and rural residents participating in social pension insurance [ 28 ] reflect the gap between regional economic levels, medical levels, and social security levels, respectively.…”

“…However, the most common way to quantify common prosperity is constructing index systems. For example, Wang et al [12] evaluated the level of common prosperity in the Yangtze River basin from four perspectives: material, social, spiritual, and environment. Wan et al [13] quantified common prosperity using two dimensions of development and sharing, finding that China has made great achievements in common prosperity by analyzing the data of 162 economies from 1990 to 2020.…”

Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and an important feature of Chinese-style modernization. Data from 284 cities in China from 2011 to 2020 were collected to construct an evaluation system of the digital economy and common prosperity and establish relevant econometric models to explore their impact, spatial spillover, and mechanism. It is found that: (1) the digital economy has an obvious role in promoting common prosperity, this promotion role is dynamic and nonlinear, and the digital economy’s promotion is more obvious in low-level digital economy regions; (2) the digital economy has obvious externalities, and there is a spatial spillover effect in the process of promoting common prosperity; (3) resource allocation efficiency plays a mediating role in the process of promoting common prosperity development in the digital economy. Finally, countermeasures and suggestions are proposed in four aspects: strengthening the development of the digital economy, increasing investment in digital infrastructure, enhancing the digital governance capacity of the government, and building a digital economy demonstration zone. The research results deepen the understanding of the digital economy and common prosperity and provide some insights for the ultimate realization of common prosperity.
