Abstract

As an emerging economic form fundamentally driven by breakthrough technological innovation, the debut economy represents the industrial ecology of new quality productive forces in the consumption field. By constructing an evaluation index system for the development level of the debut economy based on three dimensions of innovation-driven development, market leadership and industrial upgrading, this paper takes 273 Chinese cities from 2005 to 2024 as research samples to measure its development level via the entropy method, Theil index and Markov chain, and further explore its driving factors through the geographical detector model. The results indicate that the overall development level of China’s debut economy has maintained a year-on-year upward trend, which can be divided into a steady growth stage and a rapid development stage, exhibiting a typical spatial pattern with development levels decreasing sequentially from the eastern region to the central and western regions. Specifically, cities with medium-high and above development levels are predominantly clustered in the eastern coastal regions, while cities with medium and below levels are contiguously distributed in the less developed central and western regions, demonstrating significant hierarchical differentiation and spatial agglomeration. Although regional disparities in the debut economy are prominent, they have gradually narrowed, mainly due to the shrinking inter-city gaps within regions. The debut economy presents significant path dependence, with a higher probability of upward transition than downward transition, as well as evident spatial spillover effects and club convergence. Financial development serves as the core driving factor of the debut economy, and its growth dynamics have transformed from exogenous factor-driven patterns to market-oriented endogenous innovation-driven patterns. Therefore, it is essential to build a regional coordinated development mechanism, improve the urban tiered cultivation system, and optimize the supporting system of economic policies to promote the high-quality development of the debut economy.
