Estimation of economic development in advance is benefit to test the validity of economic policy or to take timely remedial measures for economic recession. Due to the inevitable connections between human mobility and economic status, estimation of economic trend in advance from easily observable big data in human mobility has the superiority of authenticity, timeliness, and convenience. However, high-precision quantitative relations between human mobility and economic growth remain an outstanding question. To this issue, we firstly analyzed and compared the general patterns of human mobility and economic development; then, a novel, simple, and effective hybrid human mobility indicator ( H H M I i ) of weighted human mobility networks was proposed to quantitatively estimate economic growth. H H M I i contained two parts, that is, the interaction volumes of a given city with all participation cities and only top hub cities, respectively. This implied that the economic growth of a city is affected by not only its own strength, but also the cooperation with hub cities. Several empirical experiments demonstrated that the proposed H H M I i had an exceedingly high estimation ability of economic growth, especially for the tertiary industry. Compared with other complex network indicators, H H M I i had a distinct advantage and its best accuracy reached 0.9543. These results can provide policy-making supports for inter-city sustainable coordinated development.

Coordination Development

Coordinating the “green” and “gray” infrastructure construction and the socioeconomic development is essential to sponge city construction. Most previous research has investigated the structural and non-structural approach for urban water management, such as operational practice, engineered measures, technical solutions, or planning management. However, there is a shortage of strategic management approaches to identify pilot sponge cities, which is essential to cities in developing countries under huge financial pressures. Hence, this paper proposed a coupling coordination evaluation index system to assess the coordination degree between economic development and infrastructure construction in Henan Province in central China. Then, the paper analyzed the differences of the coordination level and its spatial statistical pattern of the coupled and coordinated development of sponge city construction in Henan Province. The results show that: (1) from the perspective of comprehensive level, the problems of inadequate and unbalanced development of infrastructure construction and economic development level are prominent; (2) from the perspective of coordinated development level, the level of coupling and coordination development in Henan Province increased during the sample period, but the level of coupling and coordination development in each region was small; (3) from the perspective of relative development, Zhengzhou City is lagging behind in infrastructure, indicating that economic growth is faster than infrastructure construction, and other regions are lagging economic development, indicating that infrastructure construction is faster than economic growth; and (4) from the spatial statistical analysis, there is spatial positive correlation, that is, the area with high coupling degree of infrastructure construction and economic development level tends to be significantly concentrated in space. Studies have shown that Henan Province should focus on strengthening the construction of “green” infrastructure and increasing the infiltration of the underlying surface to counter the precipitation in urban areas in extreme climates.

For a specific small-scale region with abundant resources, its copious resources tend to dictate the basic direction of its development, and may subsequently give rise to an industrial structure centered on the advantageous resources. This can give rise to an economic structure that lacks diversity, causing the economic development in the entire local region to fall into the dilemma of the resource curse. The present study conducts a case study from the perspective of small-scale regions, incorporating various types of resource-dependent cities in China, including Qingyang, Jinchang, and Baiyin, to interpret and analyze the resource curse effect by calculating a resource curse coefficient. Moreover, based on the regression model, the present study further discusses the empirical relations associated with the resource curse phenomenon. The results show that, regardless of whether a resource-dependent city is in the early, intermediate or late stage of its resource development, economic development is always plagued by the resource curse effect to a certain degree. Resource development cannot promote economic development, rather, it inhibits economic growth to some extent, resulting in an array of effects that are unfavorable to economic development, rendering the development unsustainable. For different types of resource-dependent cities, resource curse effect exhibits distinct characteristics. The resource curse effect is strongest for a resource-dependent city during an economic recession, is less severe during a development period, and is weakest during maturation. Resource development not only has a direct adverse impact on economic growth, but also often affects economic growth in multiple ways and on various levels through the Dutch disease effect, the crowding out effect, and the institution weakening effect. Until now, most results show that there is no obvious resource curse effect at the national and provincial level. The verification results of small-scale regions show that the resource curse effect at the city level still exists. In addition, the resource curse effect differs across different types of resource-dependent cities.

Introduction. The topic of interregional differentiation is relevant due to the existing increase in disproportions in the Russian regions, which has an impact on the development of the state economy. The main objective of the study is to assess the level of interregional differentiation. Materials and Methods. The study used the indicator of “general entropy”, in particular, the Theil index. The research methodology includes economic and mathematical methods of data processing, statistical data analysis packages, etc. Results. In the course of the work, the research tasks were set and fulfilled: the development of Russian regions in the period of structural transformations was analyzed; indicators making it possible to assess the level of economic development of territories were provided; a coefficient was chosen, based on the calculation of which the level of interregional differentiation was estimated; the level of interregional differentiation was assessed. It has been proved that the periods of economic growth are characterized by faster rates of development of weak regions due to the state support and redistribution of budgetary funds mitigating territ orial differences. During the periods of economic recession, the state support is provided to the regions with competitive advantages, capable of changing the negative dynamics of the country’s economic development in order to accelerate economic growth. Discussion and Conclusion. The results achieved can be used when designing the program of development of economic entities or drafting strategic documents. Interregional differences and disparities in most territories determine the dynamics of their development and the opportunities for economic growth, on which the economic policy pursued by the regional authorities should be based. In a competitive environment, the identification and further gaining strength from the advantages of the regions make it possible to form the policy of the region’s development which helps to make management decisions.

The article embraces the thorough analysis of the social-economic space of Poltava Region via administrative-areal reform as well as united areal communities’ formation. Given research has its base in the methodology of spatial analysis of areal systems with different levels of their organization. As a result, the very essence of social-economic growth poles’ forming process was revealed in succession. The fact this growth poles’ formation on depressive territories tends to be the ultimate way to improve their social and economic status has been logically ascertained. The typification of Poltava Region unitedareal communities’ centres as social-economic growth poles was held according to such criteria as their formation and impact extension over the surrounding territory. Actually, the forming peculiarities and the further development of growth poles on the regional level have an urgent necessity under active administrative-areal reform. Therefore, the prerequisites and the forming factors of Poltava Region growth poles were clearly defined. As a result, all the groups’ types of regional social-economic centres, which are already formed social-economic development poles (Poltava, Kremenchuh), development poles under formation (Horishni Plavni, Myrhorod, Lubny, and Hadiach), centres with some prerequisites to transform into growth poles (Karlivka, Pyriatyn, Lokhvytsa, Zinkiv, Hlobyne, and Kobeliaky), and centres with insufficient capacity to transform into growth poles (Velyka Bahachka, Kozelshchyna, Mashivka,Novi Sanzhary, Opishnia, Reshetylivka, Semenivka, Chornukhy, and Shyshaky), have been classified correctly. Those centres that have low formation level, being unable to transform into growth pole (Bilotserkivka, Butenky, Velyki Sorochyntsi, Drabynivka, Zavorsklo, Zasullia, Klepachi, Kolomatske, Krasna Luka, Lanna, Mala Pereshchepyna, Machukhy, Mykhailivka, Nedoharky, Nekhvoroshcha, Novoavramivka, Novoznamianka, Obolon, Omelnyk, Petrivka-Romenska, Pishchane, Pokrovska Bahachka, Pryshyb, Rokyta, Rudenkivka, Sencha, Serhiivka, Skorokhodove, Tereshky, Shcherbani), consolidate into the specific pattern. The results of the research aim to provide the primary, administrative, and social-economic UAC centers’ functions. As a matter of fact, the fundamental prerequisite of the Poltava Region’ area sustainable social-economic development can be efficiently contributed by already formed poles. They are, in fact, able to maintain the conservation of regional ecosystems, the areas’ innovative development achievements, the overcome of poverty, the preservation of national values and traditions, etc. Only the transformation of the described centers or acquiring them the nuclei traits of social-economic development poles should ensure the balanced areal development of the region.
