Abstract

To assess the development level of new-quality productive forces (NQPF) in the Yangtze River Delta, this study constructs a "goal-subject-carrier" three-dimensional evaluation system and measures NQPF using the entropy weight method based on prefecture-level data from 2014 to 2023. Results indicate that NQPF in the region has grown steadily (with the average comprehensive index increasing by over 260% in a decade) but shows significant spatial differentiation, forming a gradient pattern led by Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. High-level NQPF depends on the systematic matching of factor upgrading, multi-subject collaboration, and industrial upgrading. The research provides policy references for promoting the integrated high-quality development of NQPF in the region.
