Abstract

As economic resilience is an important way to achieve sustainable economic development, it is no longer possible to quickly adjust to the frequent disturbance shocks arising in China’s administrative district pattern, and exploring the path of resilience and coordinated development at the spatial scale of comprehensive economic zones is an increasingly urgent matter. From the perspective of China’s eight comprehensive economic zones, we examine the spatiotemporal patterns and evolutionary characteristics of economic resilience. The study finds that economic resilience is stronger in the eastern and coastal economic zones and weaker in the northern and western economic zones, with an overall inverted U-shaped trend. The Dagum Gini coefficient reveals that economic resilience is more balanced within the eastern economic zones and between the coastal economic zones, while economic resilience gap is larger within the western economic zones and between the northwestern economic zone and other economic zones, with a dominant contribution of hypervariable density to the regional gap. Dynamic evolution analysis shows that economic resilience has strong spatial and temporal dependence, with a stable development trend. In the future, a regional economic pattern rich in network resilience should be established to promote a concerted increase in economic resilience and high-quality development.
