Abstract

The deep integration of the digital economy and new productive forces is an inevitable trend and an important way to promote the high-quality development of productivity. This study takes 30 provinces (regions) in China as research objects and constructs an evaluation system of digital economy and new productive forces indicators. It examines the coupling coordination relationship and dynamic evolution trend between the digital economy and new productive forces in these 30 provinces (regions) from 2012 to 2022. The results indicate that: (1) The levels of digital economy and new productive forces show an upward trend. An overall data analysis reveals significant differences and spatial distribution imbalances among provinces, with high-level regions mainly concentrated in the eastern coastal areas and slower growth in the central and western regions. (2) The coupling coordination degree between the digital economy and new productive forces shows an overall upward trend, improving from slight disorder to near disorder, but the overall level is still low. The coupling coordination development in the eastern region is relatively better, while the central and western regions remain in a state of severe disorder.
