A Review of the Research on the Indicator Evaluation of the New Development Philosophy

Abstract

The philosophy of innovative, coordinated, green, open and inclusive development, collectively referred to as the new development philosophy, is an important component of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialist Economy with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. It plays a vital role in China’s efforts to resolve problems in economic development and cultivate new advantages. Based on a keen understanding of the new development philosophy, we review the literature on the evaluation of a single indicator of the five dimensions of philosophy and that on a comprehensive evaluation of all the indicators of philosophy. The results show varied depths of research in single-indicator evaluation, and a lack of systematic study on comprehensive evaluation. We propose a multi-tier (macro–micro)-indicator evaluation system of new development philosophy, and recommend to establish a smart evaluation platform by integrating big data with traditional data, which will serve as a foundation and provide reference for the development of a scientific, well-conceived indicator evaluation system of new development philosophy that can guide the practice.
