Features: The author applies regional economics theory, employing comparative analysis, theoretical analysis, and empirical research methods. With the impact mechanism of openness on regional economic development as the main thread, the study first constructs a general theoretical analysis framework and then conducts applied analysis using the "Jiangsu-Zhejiang Model" as a case study. It not only focuses on the relationship between regional openness and regional economic development, exploring from multiple perspectives and levels such as domestic and foreign investment, trade openness, technology transfer diffusion, interregional domestic and foreign investment, industrial transfer, labor mobility, human capital, institutional change, etc., to reveal and clarify the impact mechanism of China's gradual opening policy on regional economic development. Moreover, it emphasizes the dual dimensions of openness—both international and interregional openness—to study and address the impact of openness on regional economies. This provides a fresh interpretation and definition of the "Jiangsu-Zhejiang Model," including its formation mechanism, essential characteristics, and key factors, offering innovative insights into China's regional economic development.
