Quantitative evidence of the community of shared future for mankind as a driver of sustainable development in human society

This paper quantitatively examines the relationship between the Community of Shared Future for Mankind (CSFM) and sustainable development. Using the entropy method to quantify CSFM's core principles and the super-efficiency Slack-Based Measure model in Data Envelopment Analysis to calculate green total factor productivity (GTFP) as a proxy for sustainable development, the study finds a significant positive correlation. Robustness checks using PCA, Malmquist index, OLS, PLS, MLE, Ridge, and Lasso regressions confirm the findings. Policy recommendations are proposed to promote sustainable development globally.
