Abstract

This study presents a conceptual framework for the multidimensional aspects of regional governance that influence regional development. In order to test the coupling effect of governance factors on economic growth and welfare improvement, a combination method comprising two-way fixed effects models, systematic GMM models, natural language processing and machine learning has been adopted. The findings underscore the heterogeneous nature of regional governance factors that exert influence on regional economic growth and welfare improvement in China. This study builds upon the preceding conclusion that a singular dimension of governance factor exerts an impact on regional economic growth or welfare improvement. Moreover, the study offers decision-makers a nuanced policy perspective to facilitate regional economic growth and enhance welfare from a coupling governance perspective.
