New quality productive forces serve as a catalyst for high-quality development and act as a critical driver of Chinese-style modernization. This study evaluated the degree of new quality productive force in China’s five major urban agglomerations between 2013 and 2022 using the entropy approach. Additionally, it utilized kernel density estimation,...

While many developed countries are well advanced in green infrastructure (GI), more efforts are needed to bring less developed regions to speed. Existing evidence shows that GI understanding differs significantly among stakeholders due to the multifunctionality concept. As key technical stakeholders in GI implementation, there is little empirical k...

... NQPF serves as a key driver in promoting sustainable industrial development in response to the demands of the economic era 29 . Agriculture is a crucial domain for NQPF development 30 , as its advancement plays a fundamental role in implementing the rural revitalization strategy, strengthening the agricultural sector, and achieving the modernization of agriculture and rural areas 31 . ...
... Regarding the evaluation and measurement of NQPF in agriculture, two main approaches are prevalent. The first approach, based on the theory of productivity elements, evaluates NQPF through three dimensions: new-quality labourers, new-quality means of production, and new-quality objects of labour 4,29 . The second approach, grounded in the characteristics of NQPF, assesses it through three dimensions: technological productivity, green productivity, and digital productivity 36 . ...

Enhancing the development of new quality productive forces (NQPF) has become a critical pathway for overcoming the “low-end lock-in” of the pig industry and achieving high-quality growth. Based on panel data from 31 Chinese provinces spanning 2011 to 2022, this study employs benchmark regression models, mediation effect models, and threshold effect models to empirically analyze the impact of industrial agglomeration (AGG) on the enhancement of new quality productive forces in the pig farming industry (NQPP) and its underlying mechanisms. The findings revealed that (1) AGG significantly enhances NQPP, and this conclusion remains robust across various robustness tests. (2) Industrial structure upgrading (ISU) serves as the intrinsic driving force behind the positive effect of AGG on NQPP enhancement. (3) The spillover effects of AGG on NQPP enhancement exhibit a significant non-linear characteristic of “increasing marginal effects”. (4) The impact of AGG on NQPP enhancement varies across regions. The promotional effect is more pronounced in regions rich in resources and with strong development potential. Accordingly, the policymakers should carefully consider regional factor endowments and production capacities when formulating differentiated policy measures tailored to local conditions. Additionally, efforts should be made to strengthen the integration of the pig industry chain and promote technological innovation, thereby facilitating the industry’s transition toward intensification, efficiency, and sustainability.
