Agglomeration, Spatial Distribution And Employment

As an economic phenomenon, there is the ancient industrial clustering, such as the Jingdezhen ceramics. Long history of Jingdezhen porcelain production, began in the Tang Dynasty, reigning in the Song Dynasty.The Song Emperor——Song zhenzong gave the title of his reign to Jingdezhen, which, through the development of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, became the national porcelain center as "the world control the kiln together," After thirty years of reform and opening up, the three major economic zones form a large area of industrial clustering with modern features. These gathering areas attract labor, capital, advanced technology and other important development factors. Consequently, industrial and employment distributions on the regional scope come into being as well. As an important engine of economic development, the economic development of the three major economic zones is of significance for China's economic development.In this paper, it makes a comparison and an analysis of the three major economic zones of economic development from the relevant data. On that basis, from the second economic census data in 2008, it makes a quantitative analysis for the relations of industrial agglomeration and employment by a simple empirical model. Measurement results show that for either the secondary industry or the tertiary industry, industrial agglomeration of the three major economic zones have a positive role in promoting employment; furthermore, it found that the regression coefficient of secondary industry of the three major economic zones is greater than that of the tertiary industry, namely the traditional labor-intensive industries'industrial agglomeration attracts labor concentration more. That means that we can promote employment by encouraging and supporting the economic organization form of the industrial agglomeration, to a certain extent. Using the second economic census data in 2008, by the perspective of sub-sectors and sub-regional perspective, it makes comparison and analysis of the three major economic zones of the geographical distribution of practitioners.In the final empirical part, we have measured the industrial concentration degree of the three major economic zones, by using the second economic census data in 2008 and the integrated location quotient. At last, with the establishment of the cross-sectional model, we have analyzed the relationship between industrial agglomeration and labor productivity. The empirical results reveal that, factors like human capital, technical factors, per capita capital and others have positive effects on labor productivity, which is in line with the research expectations; As for the impact of employment density on labor productivity, the secondary industry of the three major economic zones, shows negative effects, while the tertiary industry plays a positive role. This indicates that the second industry of the three major economic zones has begun to reveal the "crowding effect" after thirty years of reform and development. As the focus of this analysis, the industrial clustering of three major economic zones has a positive effect on labor productivity, which is consistent with the empirical research in the review part. It means that China has the potential to improve labor productivity through industrial agglomeration, and the tertiary industry has better access to such industrial clustering effect than the second. In terms of sub-regions, the combined effects of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province get the most, followed by the Yangtze River Delta region and Perl River Delta region. For empirical research findings, the article concludes with some specific policy recommendations.
