| This paper investigates the relationship between change of industrial structure and economic growth and the relationship between economic growth and economic opening since China has carried out the policy of reform and opening for thirty years. The change from agriculture to non-agricultural industry as main part of economy makes great contribution to China’s economic growth. And this change still is the important motive force of long-term economic growth of China in the future. Because of economic opening, the evolution of non-agricultural industrial structure which transits from industry to service industry as main part of economy is slow. This is shown as the proportion of secondary industry in our country is high while the service industry is low.Firstly the brief illustration about research background, thought and method, structure, content and innovation of the paper has been done in chapter one. Then the paper overall reviews related literatures about change of industrial structure, change of industrial structure and economic growth, domestic change of industrial structure and domestic economic growth in chapter two. Through combing numerous literatures, I find it is difficult to explain the course of change of industrial structure since the reform and opening in traditional theory of change of industrial structure based on closed economy and related empirical study. So this paper tries hard to interpret the course of change of industrial structure in China under the background of the open economy. In chapter 3 this paper concentrates on analyzing the course and characteristics of change of industrial structure in China. This change course is combined with economic opening closely, which involves the change of the relation between agriculture and non-agricultural, the relation among the interior of the non-agricultural industry, the relation between the industry and service industry. The international comparison in this paper shows that change of industrial structure in China has unique feature compared with developed country or developing country. On this basis chapter four analyzes the occurrence mechanism of structure change from agriculture dominating to non-agricultural industry dominating at first, and then adopt measuring and calculating method based on marginal labor productivity difference to study how this change promotes economic growth in China. This study find the change of industrial structure makes prominent contribution to China’s economic growth and the industrial structure in China still has big advantage of backwardness.The change of industrial structure remains as important motive force of long-term growth in China. And then, chapter five studies that under open economy the theory mechanism of industrial structure change which transits from industry dominating to service industry dominating in the interior of the non-agricultural industry. This part analyzes detailed how economic opening and the process of productivity jointly affect one country’s non-agricultural industrial structure. Then the paper carries out numerical simulation analysis according to actual situation in China. This analysis result indicates economic opening causes the low proportion of service industry in economy a great extent in China. This fact is determined by stage character of economic development and industrial structure change rather than the proof of backward development level of service industry in China. Then chapter six adopts panel data from every province in china since 1990-2007 and use panel data model and quantile regression model separately to test empirically the long-term relation among economic opening, economic development level and industrial structure. The empirical results proves expectation of theoretical model:The increase of degree of economic opening really relatively promotes the proportion of secondary industry in the whole economy and relatively reduce the proportion of tertiary industry in the whole economy. With the promotion of economic development degree and income level, the proportion of secondary industry reduces constantly while the proportion of tertiary industry improves constantly. Chapter seven draws the main conclusion of the full paper on the basis of mathematical model and empirical study and puts forward the policy proposal about further promoting the change of industrial structure effectively and healthily.
