Abstract:

By applying weighted TOPSIS method, we evaluate the comprehensive strength of Chinese commodity exchange markets from the scale, structure, and speed aspects. The results show that the comprehensive strength of market in eastern region is much stronger than in middle and western regions. Consequently, we study the time-spatial evolution analysis using kernel density estimation and ESDA. The results are given as follows. 1) Though the growth momentum has been strong, some discrepancies occur at separate stages and present polarization phenomenon. 2) The strength of market tends to increase in west-east direction and presents an inverted U-shape, and the space autocorrelation is obvious with some heterogeneity in some provincial units. 3) Path dependence, geographical conditions, technological impact, and the process of opening-up are the dominant mechanisms of spatial-temporal segregation of market strength.

Key words: commodity exchange market, weighted TOPSIS, kernel density estimation, spatial autocorrelation
