Abstract

In order to promote the development of food economics, the grey relational degree analysis is applied in the relationship analysis between the local food industry expenditure and regional food economic growth. Firstly, the real situation of Chinese food industry economic growth is analyzed. Secondly, the theory model of relational analysis between local food industry expenditure and regional food economic growth is established and the algorithm procedure is designed. Thirdly, the analysis varities are defined based on the analysis requirement, finally the relational analysis is carried out and results show that the grey relational degree analysis is an effective method for carrying out the relational analysis for local food industry expenditure and regional food economic growth.

Keywords:

Empirical research, grey relational degree analysis, localfood industry, regional food economic growth,
