Based On The Evolution Of The Structure Of The Industry Analysis

The study on the influence of structure evolution on economic growth, especially the growth measured by output has been carried out from long time ago. In recent years, new industry evolutions rise increasingly, while the progresses in the study on industrial economics theory are comparatively growing slowly. Furthermore, most of the current studies focus on the industrial organization theory, stressing the approach at micro level, hence resulting in the stagnation of the study on industry structure. In addition, during the process of the industry structural adjustment in the northeastern region and the stepwise evolution of the industrial structure in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, many social problems are exposed. Although a lot of policies, rules and regulations regarding industry structure come on publicly, they always fail to get the expected effect. Out of the thoughts on a series issue of theory and practice in industrial economics, this dissertation brings forward an analysis framework on industry development which integrates micro-meso-macro in terms of level and the industry organization and structure in terms of content by referring to the updated achievements in evolution economic theory. On the basis, it focuses on the enterprises heterogeneity, structure differences and macro growth in the hope that it can provide support for policy-making and the self-development of the enterprises.In this framework, the overall economy is regarded as an enterprises system with differences and innovation mechanism. However, the macro characteristics of the system is not simply summed up with those of the micro, but represented by the non-equilibrium growth of the meso system (industry or sector). This dissertation starts with individuals at micro level in the industry and probes into the mechanism in which the individual heterogeneity exists, with the belief that the individual heterogeneity gains the adaptable evolution by the mechanism of innovation, selection and heredity. When the dynamic characteristics are transmitted to the industry level, the continual existence of the non-equilibrium in the industry system is exposed. At last, the combination of the micro enterprises heterogeneity and the meso structure differences leads to the economic growth. In the whole analysis framework, this dissertation stresses the constraint role of the rules on the evolution of the individuals and the population. The evolution of the economic evolution will finally be embodied as the evolution of the rules system.Compared with the traditional economic growth theory, this dissertation attaches great importance to the role of structure evolution on the economic growth and believes that in terms of structure transfer, no matter the natural transfer or human intervention, the structure effect and function mechanism of the economic growth are treated as the core of the study on the growth issue.The introduction compares the industry analysis based on evolution with classical macro-micro analysis and the analysis approach of the industry organization theory with that of the industry structure theory, and then introduced the aim and approach of the study and at last brings forward the framework of the dissertation.The second chapter is about the literature summary. It focuses on the economic growth theory, the structure view of evolution, traditional industry structure theory and evolution theory of industry structure and discusses the correlation and differences of these theories.The third chapter covers the analysis framework. This chapter regards the evolution process of industry system as an extremely complicated evolution process of rules system. It brings forward the analysis framework covering from the micro heterogeneity, then the meso structure differences and at last the macro economic growth. This chapter analyses the internal mechanism in which massive complicated rules structure forms an economic system through long time evolution and explains the rules relation of the micro-meso-macro, then puts forward the particular fields of the three-level analysis approach. This chapter examines the micro individuals under the competition and selection mechanism, foreshadowing the next chapter theoretically.The forth chapter analyses the dynamic mechanism, patterns and path of industry evolution, puts forward the view that the enterprises heterogeneity is the dynamic source of the industry evolution and categories various heterogeneities and then discusses the quality sense of structure evolution. This chapter focuses the correlation of the micro and meso.The fifth chapter is concerned with the correlation analysis of various phenomena at micro a meso levels with economic growth. The dynamics of industry system originates from the system micro components. And it is the combination of the variety of the enterprises and their behaviors and the selection mechanism of the market results in the non-equilibrium of the industry system. Furthermore, the existence of the study and innovation mechanism of the micro individuals leads to the complication of the industry system evolution behavior. Again, when the average adaptability realizes its dynamics maximization through evolution, the evolution process of industry system can be possibly represented as a relatively stable one at macro level.The sixth chapter discusses and extends the analysis model based on evolution and explains the core and components of the model. At the same time, it analyses the way to deal with some traditional model variants in the evolution model.The seventh chapter is concerned with the policy suggestions. Based on the conclusions from the analysis framework and mechanism and model analysis of this dissertation, this chapter summarizes the major characteristics which the industry policy system is deserved to own and brings forward the future development direction of the industry policy.
