The Synergistic Research of Ecological Environmental Benefits and High-Quality Economic Development: Empirical Evidence from Henan Province, China

Abstract

 Currently, there exists a certain foundation of research within the academic community pertaining to the ecological and environmental benefits as well as the high-quality economic development. However, limited attention has been given to investigating the synergetic development between China's ecological and environmental benefits and its high-quality economic growth. This article employs data reflecting the ecological and environmental benefits and high-quality economic development of Henan Province, and establishes an evaluation model for assessing the synergy between ecological and environmental benefits and high-quality economic development in Henan Province. The indicator weights are determined using the coefficient of variation method and the entropy method, and empirical analysis on the synergy between the ecological and environmental benefits and high-quality economic development in Henan Province is conducted. The research findings indicate that the synergy between ecological and environmental benefits and high-quality economic development in Henan Province demonstrates a pattern of alternating growth and decline, and is generally at a low level of synergy. This study can contribute to the existing research on the synchronized advancement of ecological environmental benefits and high-quality economic growth in provincial regions of China.
