Research on the Impact of Heterogeneous Marine Environmental Regulation on High-Quality Development of the Marine Economy
Description
The purpose of this data is to assess the impact of marine environmental regulations on the high-quality development of the marine economy. It compiles relevant indicators from 11 coastal provinces and cities in China, and measures changes in the high-quality development level of the marine economy in each region using the AHP-EW method. It summarizes the state of high-quality development of the marine economy from five dimensions—Innovation Driven, Economic Coordination,Green Construction,Open Cooperation, and Shared Livelihood— as well as overall. The data consists of spatial panel data from 11 coastal regions in China from 2006 to 2019, sourced from the "China Statistical Yearbook," "China Marine Yearbook," "China Marine Economic Statistical Yearbook," "China Environmental Statistical Yearbook," "China Fishery Yearbook," "China Population and Employment Statistical Yearbook," and data published on the statistical bureau's website. A few missing data points were calculated using linear interpolation. Regions 1 to 11 represent Liaoning, Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan, respectively. Indicators X1 to X6 reflect innovation, X7 to X10 reflect coordination; X11 to X16 reflect ecology; X17 to X20 reflect openness; X21 to X26 reflect sharing. The research findings indicate that the development of China's marine economy is uneven across regions. Leading regions, represented by Shanghai, have scores for high-quality marine economic development that are significantly higher than other coastal areas. Next are the catching-up regions, represented by Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Shandong, Liaoning, and Zhejiang, where the scores for high-quality marine economic development are near the average. The third category is the lagging regions, represented by Hebei, Guangxi, Tianjin, and Jiangsu, where factors such as economic development foundations and resource endowment conditions constrain the high-quality development of the marine economy.
