Abstract

This study is based on panel data from 30 Chinese provinces between 2010 and 2022. Economic high-quality development and its regional heterogeneity are systematically examined in relation to new quality productivity using the instrumental variable technique and the double fixed effect model. Economic high-quality development is very positively impacted by new quality productivity, according to the study, and this effect is 6.7 times greater in the northern region than in the southern one. According to the heterogeneity test, the north more effectively unleashes the potential of new quality productivity through technical innovation and upgrading of industrial structures, whereas the south is limited by resource mismatch and overly competitive markets. On the basis of this, distinct policy recommendations are put forth: the south must optimize the distribution of human resources and the market supervision mechanism to encourage the shift in the development model towards quality improvement, while the north should concentrate on creating new quality productivity innovation demonstration zones to solidify its dominant position. The theoretical and empirical foundation for optimizing the regional policy toolbox and implementing gradient development strategies is provided by this study.
