Abstract:
High quality county economy is of great significance for Shandong Province to realize the transformation of new kinetic energy. Based on this, this article follows the study path from ‘the general economic spatial pattern of measure’ to ‘comprehensive economic development level of representation’, and measures the space difference, form and measured auto-correlation characteristics of county economy in Shandong Province, and comprehensively evaluates the level of county economy development in Shandong Province under the background of the old and the new kinetic energy conversion. It is concluded that since 2006, the relative difference at county level in Shandong Province tends to decrease, but the absolute difference has not been fundamentally improved. The county economy in central and eastern Shandong shows a high level of development at present, but the southwest and northwest Shandong lacks the real power to realize the transformation of old and new driving forces. It should be noted that the level of social consumption and scientific and technological innovation has increasingly become an important dimension to measure whether counties can take advantage of development. In the future, strategies should be taken from the aspects of macro strategic policies, county cooperative planning and focusing on advantage endowment to realize the sustainable development of county economy in Shandong Province.
