Technopole Theory And Practice In China

Based on the Endogenous Growth Theory , the theory of embeddedness, social networks, social capital in new economic sociology and global value chains, the thesis analyzes the effects of technopoles in the emergence of globe hierarchy of cities after the deduction of silicon valley becoming the technopole via the four hypothesis, which are space has a comparatively economic gradient, the return brought by innovation is exclusively, economic man are situated by the community around him when he pursues his own maximization of interest, and economic man and space have an interrelationship. By setting up a twin city frame model, the thesis revealed that the knowledge spillover by technopoles is the original power in the emergence of globe city system. Although agglomeration in city is helpful to knowledge spillover, technopole and globe city don't overlap each other in theory. Technopoles rely on the agglomeration of innovative resources and the foundation of input-output mechanism in R&D industry.The thesis set up an evaluative micromechanism model though resolving technical external economy. The logic deduction of the model is: in a space which has a comparative innovative gradient, there comes forth innovation and new division of labor because R&D firms pursue monopoly rents; economic man in the region undertakes the new opportunities of the new division of labor and keep on innovating because he is situated when he pursues his own maximization of interest; for the continuous monopoly rents, new R&D firms and specialized agents arise, that will bring more innovation intermediate goods; if increasing returns can sustain, agglomeration of R&D firms in space can be realized and more R&D firms will be absorbed. After primary agglomeration, technopole will be self-enforcing because of forward and backward linkage. Meanwhile, because the return of R&D activities is exclusive and over-crowded in top, erected technopole is difficult to be copied, and the number of technopole is less than globe city. So the thesis validated the model in the case that is demonstration on the technopoles in China. At last, the thesis put the model into Shanghai Yangpu District's practice, who wants building technopole.Twin city frame model can explain well the internal mechanism of Tran frontier city system and global hierarchy of cities. Expanded model can explain well the competitions in different gradient city in developing countries and space reorganization in same region. The expended model has some persuasion in explaining the essence of industry competitions and industry agglomeration in region. There is experiential analyses on the interrelationship of Shanghai's knowledge spillover and frame reorganization in Chang Delta Region in the second section of the third chapter.The evaluative micromechanism model of technopole not only lays a academic foundation for analyzing different names, levels industry parks in China, but also answers the questions such as how R&D firms agglomerate in space, what kinds of conditions are needed when agglomeration happens. So the thesis reveals how the local or country authoritative agents get the chances to upgrade their station in global value chain though developing their technology. So the thesis canprovide some clews to the country STP and local industry development policy by the conception of the model and the internalization of theoretic tools on industry spatial analysis. Meanwhile, the model is pervasive because it origins from the study on agglomeration of R&D firms in general. Therefore it is helpful in theory to make a study in-depth on the development of creative industry, industry clusters and endogenous development model in city, and is also a premise to take a spatial act for the different gradient local.
