Jingyou Evaluation and Analysis of Liaoning's Typical Advanced Manufacturing based on Four Drivers

Scientifically evaluating the development level of advanced manufacturing is a prerequisite for local governments to formulate personalized development strategies. This paper takes Liaoning Province in China as the research subject, focusing on four dimensions: innovation-driven, reform-driven, market-driven, and open-driven, to construct an evaluation index system for advanced manufacturing. Using an individual advantage characteristic identification and evaluation method based on the ideal point utility model, the development level of typical advanced manufacturing industries in Liaoning is systematically analyzed from both intra-provincial and inter-provincial perspectives. From the intra-provincial industry comparison perspective, considering the most favorable conditions for each, the four typical advanced manufacturing industries in Liaoning--pharmaceutical manufacturing, electronic and communication equipment manufacturing, computer and office equipment manufacturing, and medical instrument and apparatus manufacturing--exhibit distinct individual advantage structures in both overall development level and in the four driving dimensions (innovation, reform, market, and open), bringing significant individual advantages. However, from an inter-provincial comparison perspective, the overall development level and individual and democratic agent evaluation values of the four typical advanced manufacturing industries in Liaoning rank in the middle among 31 provinces, with Liaoning's comparative advantage on a national scale no longer being significant, and its industrial development not being outstanding. Lastly, in response to these issues, this paper proposes several countermeasures to aid the personalized development of Liaoning's advanced manufacturing industries.
