Cultivation Logic, Practical Dilemmas and Differentiated Development Paths of New Quality Productive Forces in Underdeveloped Western China
Journal: Modern Economics & Management Forum DOI: 10.32629/memf.v7i2.5200
Abstract
Fostering new quality productive forces (NQPF) is critical for underdeveloped western China to break development bottlenecks in the new-era western development strategy. Based on Marxist productivity theory, this paper clarifies its three-dimensional cultivation logic. Using 2012–2022 panel data of 12 western provinces, this study measures NQPF levels and regional disparities by improved entropy weight-TOPSIS and Dagum Gini decomposition, and identifies practical dilemmas. Results show steady growth, prominent east-west gaps, three-echelon differentiation and five core dilemmas, providing references for western high-quality development.
