| As an effective form of industrial organization,industrial agglomeration becomes one of the most main economic phenomenon in recent years, it attracts attention of many domestic and overseas scholars because industrial agglomeration can bring about the sustained strong competitiveness. Considering of the source of industrial agglomeration sustained competitivenes,Marshall (1890) mainly focuses on the importance of the external economy.Weber (1890) make it as agglomeration economic, Porter (1990) put emphasize on competition.Although the competitive advantage of industrial agglomeration come from many parts,the knowledge spillovers from industries agglomeration externality is the most important effect to create and maintain the source of competitive advantage.Empirical studies show that Jiangsu province has entered the stage of rapid development of industry cluster.The relationship between the industry agglomeration and the development of regional industry will gradually strengthen as times go on. This prompted us to think about the following questions:(1)What is the influence of the industry spatial agglomeration to regional industrial development;(2)Whether this effect is under the influence of the profession characteristic,and if it has significant difference between manufacturing industries?These questions above constitute the motivation of this study.This paper attempts to discuss the the relationship between industry cluster approach and industry growth from external economic.Firstly we review the theories of industrial agglomeration, industry growth and the relationship between them,then put forth two ways of industry agglomeration acting on the industry growth:(1) Localiation economies by the same or related industry in region;(2)Urbanization economies by different types of industrial in a region.Then we choose29manufacturing industries, discuss their industrial agglomeration status from the two ways we have just analyzed, describes the overall agglomeration manufacturing status and the dominant industry advantages in jiangsu province.Based on the studies above,we firstly put industrial agglomeration externalities into the production function,then we creat a industrial growth model contains agglomeration factors,capital and labor.Using the panel data of manufacturing industries in Jiangsu province, this paper discuss the relationship between industry cluster and the the industry growth and whether industrial clustering effect is different between manufacuring industries.The result shows:Localiation economies have a positive effect to all the industry, Technology-intensive industries greatly influenced by specialized economies,then is Capital-intensive industries,Labor-intensive industries is minimally effected by professional economy;Urbanization economies only play limited role in all the industry. In addition, the paper discovers that capital, labor inputs, and enterprise scale all played an important role in the process of industrial growth.At last, based on the studies of theoretical analysis and empirical test,the paper put forth the following policy suggestion:(1) Scientific planning, optimization and adjustment the regional industrial layout;(2) Playing the labor advantage,driving the rapid development of regional industry;(3) Establishing a sound financial services system,increasing investment;(4) Breaking the local protection barriers,promoting market integration;(5)Playing technology spillovers of industrial agglomeration, promoting innovation. |
