Abstract: 数字经济发展水平的衡量与评估对于区域数字经济规划和政策制定至关重要。本文基于贵州省统计年鉴2019至2023最近五年的统计数据，选取地区生产总值、地区生产总值增长率、人均地区生产总值和工业化水平四个经济指标，互联网宽带用户接入数、移动电话普及率、人均电信业务量、计算机从业人员占城镇单元比例四个数字经济指标，借助熵值法对贵州省的经济特别是数字经济发展进行质量评价。基于前四个指标的分析来看，尽管公共卫生事件影响了贵州省的经济发展，但贵州省经济整体恢复较快，经济韧性较强。通过聚类分析发现，贵阳为核心经济区，黔东南州的经济变动区别于其他所有地市，而其他地市的经济变动则较为平衡。根据数字经济指标的分析，贵州省经济在2019年达到近五年的峰值，随后呈现出逐年放缓的趋势。尤其是2020年至2021年间，数字经济增长质量出现明显下降，之后虽然有所趋稳，但始终保持在较低水平。因此，推动省内数字经济内循环，以更好促进贵州省的高质量发展具有重要的实践意义。The measurement and evaluation of the development level of the digital economy are crucial for regional digital economy planning and policy formulation. Based on the statistical data from the Guizhou Provincial Statistical Yearbook for the five most recent years (2019 to 2023), this paper selects four economic indicators: regional gross domestic product (GDP), regional GDP growth rate, GDP per capita, and industrialization level, and four digital economy indicators: the number of broadband internet users, mobile phone penetration rate, per capita telecommunications business volume, and the proportion of computer industry workers in urban areas. The entropy method is used to evaluate the quality of economic development, particularly the digital economy, in Guizhou Province. Based on the analysis of the first four indicators, although the pandemic affected Guizhou’s economic development, the province’s economy recovered relatively quickly and demonstrated strong economic resilience. Cluster analysis reveals that Guiyang is the core economic region, while Liupanshui and Qiandongnan Prefecture show economic changes that differ from all other cities, while the economic changes in the other cities are more balanced. According to the analysis of the digital economy indicators, Guizhou’s economy reached its peak in 2019 over the past five years, followed by a trend of gradual slowdown. Especially between 2020 and 2021, the quality of digital economy growth declined significantly. Although it stabilized afterward, it remained at a relatively low level. Therefore, promoting the internal circulation of the digital economy within the province is of great practical significance for better supporting the high-quality development of Guizhou.
