Industrial Agglomeration And Export Decision Making Of Chinese Enterprises

The development trend of world trade has changed from inter-industry trade to intra-product trade.From 1980 to 1990,70% of total international trade was inter-industry trade.As of 2010,inter-industry trade accounted for only 40% of total trade.60% has already been intra-product trade.In the process of transition from inter-industry trade to intra-product trade,the new trade pattern reflects the three characteristics of value chain,supply chain and industrial cluster chain.After 40 years of reform and opening up,China has firmly grasped the industrial cluster chain and has become the world's largest trading country."Made in China" is spread all over the world.With it,the export trade gap between regions has continued to widen.Most of the export trade is concentrated in the eastern region,while the development of the central and western regions is extremely slow,and there is a huge difference in the geographical structure of trade.At the same time,the spatial agglomeration of economic activities has been continuously strengthened,and industrial distribution,foreign direct investment and trade activities have gradually concentrated in the eastern region,and various types of urban circles and specialized agglomerations have spread throughout the country.Industrial agglomeration has obviously enhanced the international competitiveness of China's regional industrial development,promoted regional trade development,and formed a miracle of Chinese economic growth.The article focuses on this issue that the existing literature on the micro-mechanisms of how industrial agglomerations promote regional trade development is often unknown.All the time,domestic and foreign scholars have examined the impact of industrial agglomeration on regional trade from the perspectives of factor supply,economies of scale,technology spillovers,and intermediate product sharing under the framework of traditional and new trade theories,confirming the optimization of industrial agglomeration of economic activities To increase regional comparative advantage,which in turn promotes the growth of export trade in the region.Unfortunately,because micro-data is not easy to obtain,these studies have stayed at the macro-and miso-level analysis of agglomeration,and few have studiedin depth the industrial agglomeration and micro-enterprise export behavior from a micro perspective.In fact,the essence of industrial agglomeration is micro-effects,which cannot directly affect the macro-level regional level and the meso-level industrial level.To this end,the starting point to explore the internal mechanism of the industrial cluster exports from the region as a micro-enterprise,we will be comprehensive,in-depth understanding of the relationship between the two is significant.In view of this,in this paper,based on existing research,comprehensive use of the new new trade theory,the theory of industrial agglomeration theory,labor economics theory,corporate finance theory,the system analyzes the microscopic mechanism of industrial agglomeration affect the export trade area.Based on the labor pool effect,industrial correlation effect,and technology spillover effect of industrial agglomeration,combining labor market,financial market,and product market,this paper expounds the industrial agglomeration to enterprises from three perspectives:labor cost,financing cost,and product technology complexity Impact mechanism of export decisions.On the basis of theoretical analysis,in accordance with the continuity of normative analysis and empirical analysis,the micro-database of Chinese industrial enterprises was used to conduct a comprehensive,detailed and accurate quantitative inspection of theoretical expectations.This article is divided into seven parts.The introduction includes the background and significance of the topic,the research purpose and method,the research content and the innovation points.The second chapter is a review of the literature.It traces the commonalities of industrial agglomeration and international trade theory from increasing returns to scale,defines the concept of industrial agglomeration and the economic significance of industrial agglomeration,and summarizes the measurement methods of three generations of industrial agglomeration.In addition,it systematically reviewed the theory of industrial agglomeration and the new trade theory,and expounded the literature on industrial agglomeration and export behavior of enterprises.Chapter III establishes a theoretical model in the framework of the new new trade theory,respectively,from labor costs,financing constraints and technical complexity of the product in three dimensions,the system analyzes the microscopicmechanism of industrial agglomeration effect on export trade.Chapter IV,chapter five and six is empirical part of the paper,in order to study the theoretical proposition expected results of the third chapter of quantitative analysis,examined the effects of industrial agglomeration of Chinese export trade "dual margin".Chapter VII to make a summary of the paper,and sustainable development and structural transformation offer advice and suggestions on how to effectively use Chinese economic space to promote the combined effect of export trade area.The main conclusions of this paper are as follows: First,under the background of the disappearance of the demographic dividend and the rising labor costs,industrial agglomeration has significantly promoted the dual margin of export of enterprises,and the negative impact of rising labor costs on corporate exports has been offset by the labor pool effect.In further analysis,there is a quasi-concave relationship between the expansion margins of industrial agglomeration and the export of enterprises,and a quasi-linear relationship between the intensive margins of enterprise exports.Second,the industrial economic activity associated with industrial agglomeration effect by improving the financing environment also contributed to the export of Chinese enterprises,high dependence on external financing industry,especially the promotion of industrial clustering binary marginal industries and enterprises such exports.Third,the perspective view of the complexity of the product technology,industrial agglomeration of export expansion is greater than the marginal effect of export intensive margin.Trade liberalization reinforces the knowledge spillover effects of industrial agglomeration,especially for complex products with high technology industry,export two yuan marginal role in promoting stronger;the local infrastructure will help enterprises to enter the export market and expand export scale.Fourth,the overall analysis,the degree of expansion of industrial agglomeration marginal role in the export business is greater than the marginal intensive exports,indicating that industrial clustering to optimize the trade structure in China has an important role.
