Abstract: To promote common prosperity, it’s necessary to build an evaluation indicator system to measure the level of common prosperity. This paper emphasizes holistic, multidimensional, and long-term thinking, and highlights the bottom-line thinking in the process of Chinese modernization and common prosperity, sorts out the theoretic and statistical connotations of common prosperity, constructs an evaluation indicator system of common prosperity consisting of three first-level indicators: affluence, sharing and bottom-line guarantee, and measures the level of common prosperity at provincial and regional levels in China from 2010 to 2018, by using the macro data of national statistical department and micro survey data of Chinese Family Panel Studies (CFPS). The study finds that, at the provincial level, the level of common prosperity has continued to improve; the levels of common prosperity among provincial administrative regions has shown a convergence trend; from the first-level indicators, the level of affluence and bottom-line guarantee has steadily increased, but the level of sharing increases weakly and has large annual fluctuations; the level of inter-provincial affluence and the level of sharing show a relatively obvious inverted U-shaped relationship. At the regional level, there is an obvious trend of convergence in the level of common prosperity among eastern, central, western and northeastern China, while the gap in the level of common prosperity between the south and north is expanding faster, but the level of sharing in the north is always higher than that in the south. This paper enriches construction schemes of common prosperity evaluation systems, refining the measurement of common prosperity to the provincial level and regional level. It also provides an important reference for depicting the level of common prosperity and its inter-provincial, regional and temporal differences, identifying the focus of common prosperity and optimizing relevant policies.
