Assessment on the Integrated Power of Economic Development in "The Yangtze River Delta" Economic Circle - Empirical Research Based on Entropy and TOPSIS Method

Abstract:

This paper selected 16 cities of the Yangtze River Delta as research objects, using 5 economic indicators, namely economic aggregate, economic structure, degree of openness, infrastructure construction and sustainable development to set up an evaluation index system. Based on the otherness of the evaluation index, this paper uses the entropy weight method to assess the weights impersonally. By means of TOPSIS method, this paper evaluates and compares the integrated power of economic development in “the Yangtze River Delta” economic circle.
