An Analysis Of The Economic Linkages Of The Greater Mekong Sub - Regional Urban Agglomeration Based On Social Network

Since the establishment of the Great Mekong sub regional cooperation mechanism (GMS), the field of cooperation has been expanding continuously, and the level has been continuously improving. It has made important contributions to the economic and social development of the six countries in the sub region. As the only big country in the GMS cooperation mechanism, it is necessary for China to promote the top-level design and cooperation innovation of the Greater Mekong sub regional cooperation and inject new vitality into the future development of GMS cooperation. This paper is a research on the economic linkage and linkage of the Great Mekong sub regional urban agglomeration. On the one hand, using social network analysis method to analyze the regional economic linkages. This study using social network analysis method, the economic relation intensity and the characteristics of network structure as the core, build urban economic cluster network measurement model, and through empirical research, analysis of the Mekong River District Urban Economic cluster network structure characteristics. On the other hand the linkage based on the perspective of current research in the Greater Mekong sub regional interdependence, mutual cooperation, mutual influence relationship between various city economy. Studies using multilevel logistic model analysis because of economic ties between the individual differences between the Mekong River Sub regional urban agglomeration, explore the urban linkage between the factors and effects based, from the system theory analysis of the interaction between various cities in the system. In addition, in the use of social network analysis method to analyze the regional economic linkages to the traditional gravity model is modified, the introduction of the two indicators of the level of urban development and urban land area; in the Greater Mekong sub regional economic linkage study and reference levels for logistic model, the basic form of and for the choice of variables and independent variables make corresponding changes in.
