Regional Disparities in Coordinated Development: Evidence from China

Analysis of regional disparities in coordinated development across four major regions in China reveals a consistent upward trend. However, the eastern region exhibits a significantly higher degree of coordinated development compared to other regions. In 2011, the eastern region's degree of coordinated development was approximately 1.03 times greater than that of the other regions. This disparity persists as of 2019, indicating a need for targeted policies to promote more balanced regional development.
