Research on the Differential Patterns and Spatial Linkages of Entrepreneurial Vitality in Old Revolutionary Areas

Abstract

"Entrepreneurship" is a buzzword in today's society, entrepreneurial activities are the endogenous driving force of regional development, and entrepreneurial vitality has become an indicator to measure the development level of entrepreneurial activities, economic development vitality, and development potential of a region. Due to its historical reasons and special geographical location, the old revolutionary areas are lagging behind in development and their entrepreneurial activities are not active enough. Our government has launched various policies to support entrepreneurship in old revolutionary areas in order to achieve revitalization and coordinated development. Based on the panel data of 52 prefecture-level cities in China's key old revolutionary areas from 2010-2018, this study investigates the spatial linkage of entrepreneurial vitality in key old revolutionary areas and its evolution and proposes a series of countermeasures for the revitalization and development of old revolutionary areas.
