Features: The author analyzes the formation mechanism of regional latecomer advantage from aspects such as technological imitation innovation, institutional transplantation and transformation, and structural dynamic optimization; explores the conditions for the transformation of regional latecomer advantage from perspectives including capital formation, economies of scale, the interplay between technological imitation and institutional transplantation, the compatibility between institutional transplantation and informal constraints, and the unification of market spatial structure. This book takes regional latecomer advantage as the core concept and central thread to discuss the issue of leapfrog development in latecomer regional economies, thereby providing a new research perspective for the formation of mechanisms for coordinated regional economic development. The logical starting point of regional latecomer advantage is the imbalance in economic development between leading and latecomer regions and the existing gaps. Therefore, the author's fundamental proposition for leapfrog development in latecomer regional economies is to utilize the gaps to narrow them.
