Abstract:Sustainable rural development is crucial for urban–rural integration and achieving shared prosperity. This study assesses rural development efficiency (RDE) at the county level in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region from 2012 to 2021 using the super-slacks-based measure model (SBM). By employing the Theil index and spatial Markov chains, this study explores the spatiotemporal evolution of RDE, categorizes rural development types, and proposes differentiated developmental pathways. The findings reveal (1) an i… Show more
