Research on the Coupled and Coordinated Development of Digital Economy and New Urbanization in Anhui Province

Based on the panel data of 16 prefecture-level cities in Anhui Province from 2010 to 2020, this paper uses computer technology to construct an evaluation index system for the digital economy and new urbanization, and selects a coupling coordination model for calculation and quantitative analysis. The results show that during the sample period, the coupling and coordination level of the digital economy and new urbanization in 16 prefecture-level cities in Anhui Province showed an upward trend, and the overall spatial distribution characteristics of “high in the south, secondary in the middle, and low in the north” were presented. The coupling and coordination degree of provincial capital cities and areas south of the Huaihe River is higher than that between Jianghuai and north of the Huaihe River. In 2020, cities in Anhui Province will basically enter the advanced coordination level in an all-around way.
