Comprehensive evaluation of regional economy development level in Jiangsu Province with 2-tuple linguistic information

Since China's adoption of reform and open-up policy in 1978, Jiangsu Province has achieved a fast economic development, with the average annual increasement rate of GDP per capita at 11.3% (counted with comparative price). In this process, the role of infrastructure in pushing the economic growth receives great attention. Study on the pushing effect of infrastructure on the economic growth will help the stipulation of proper infrastructure development strategy, so as to push forward economy and narrow the regional gap. In this paper, we investigates the comprehensive evaluation problems of regional economy development level in Jiangsu Province with 2-tuple linguistic information. Then we propose dependent 2-tuple linguistic Maclaurin symmetric mean (D2TLMSM) operator and then apply D2TLMSM operator for evaluating the regional economy development level in Jiangsu Province with 2-tuple linguistic information. At last, a practical example is proposed to test the effectiveness of the given method.
