Abstract
From the perspective of the complex multi-factors that affect manufacturing green competitiveness, this study constructs a green competitiveness index measurement indicator system of manufacturing industry in Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration, which includes five dimensions: economic creativity, technological innovation, energy and environmental protection, industrial structure optimization, and social service capabilities. The manufacturing green competitiveness index in Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration in 2014-2018 is measured and analyzed by using the comprehensive evaluation model of gray correlation projection method based on the combined weights of FAHP and maximum deviation. The results show that manufacturing green competitiveness of Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration generally shows a relatively stable and continuous improvement trend, but the regional differences are large: regional cities and general node cities have significantly lower manufacturing green competitiveness than the leading cities and hub cities, and the pace of industrial structure transformation and upgrading in the whole region also needs to be accelerated. Based on these results, this paper puts forward some policy recommendations for comprehensive development of Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration manufacturing industry: focus on improving the effective guidance of the positive incentive effect of technological innovation on manufacturing green competitiveness level, and solving the problem of insufficient technological innovation achievement transformation benefits; replan regional space, strengthen the integration of all industrial resources, reducing homogeneous competition; strengthen the ecological co-construction of regional manufacturing and improve social service security level.
