Study On The Industrial Structure In Economic Zone On The West Coast Of The Taiwan Strait

Industrial structure is the basis and core of the economic structure of a country or a region, which can reallocate resources. The coordinated development of industrial structure and employment structure, relates to the overall economic development of an economic zone. At present, China’s cities are in the stage of industrial transformation and upgrading. Studies on industrial structure will better promote the transformation and upgrading of the area.This paper deeply analyzes the present situation of the three industrial structure of the Economic Zone on the West Coast of the Taiwan Strait. This thesis uses spatial analysis, dynamic analysis, coordination analysis of industrial structure and employment structure to observe the situation, and at last, studies the factors influencing the per capita output of three industries, analyzes the causes of differences between cities and provinces in the Economic Zone on the West Coast of the Taiwan Strait. Specific analysis and research work are as follows:First of all, analyze the overall situation of Economic Zone on the West Coast of the Taiwan Strait on industry structure and employment structure. The industrial structure has been remained " secondary industry, tertiary industry, primary industry " pattern all the time, while the employment structure has shifted from " primary industry, secondary industry, tertiary industry," pattern into " secondary industry, tertiary industry, primary industry " pattern, and both of them accord with basic rules of industrial structure changing.Secondly, analysis on spatial distribution of industrial structure and employment structure show, that the differences of cities in the Zone are pretty large, and cities are in different levels of economic development. The industrial structure similarity coefficient shows that Jiangxi province is slightly different with Fujian Province, Zhejiang3cities and Guangdong4cities, but they are all getting more similar in recent years. The volatility of the employment structure proves that it changes most from2005to2009(In5years for the measurement of length), but in the recent three5years, it’s gradually stable.Thirdly, both the analysis of the deviation degree and coordination analysis between cities show, that the industrial structure and employment structure are getting more harmony in the Zone. From2005to2012, the deviation degrees of second and tertiary industry have greatly improved, gradually and tend to0. As to the primary industry, it not only doesn’t reduce, but gradually expand. The Analysis of coordination shows that, most cities’ coordination coefficients are becoming larger with a rising trend. Fourthly, through the analyses of spatial difference of GDP per person, it is found from2005to2012, the whole economic zone and the four provincial’s value of GDP per person, primary industry output per person, second industry output per person and the tertiary industry per person are all numerically increased year by year, but the differences are still continuing to expand; while, overall difference has steered from within groups to between groups; and Fujian province is the one that contributes the most in deviation, but it decreased in recent years, it proves that the internal differences in Fujian province has decreased, while Jiangxi province has increased, Guangdong and Zhejiang have small amplitude fluctuations or reduce.Fifthly, according to the factor decomposition model on industrial output per person of three industries, the differences are caused by different factors.(1) GI and IE lead to the difference of primary industry, GI and EP lead to the difference of second industry, while IE and EP lead to the difference of tertiary industry. The result mainly accords with these three industry’s need to expand.(2) The varieties of the first, second and third industrial output value’s deviation are getting larger. The main reason is that the industrial structure of the cities and has not formed the stable structure, still in the upgrading of the industrial structure and adjustment stage, and even the many cities are still in the primary stage of industrialization.Finally, based on the two previous chapters’ analyses of the Zone’s industrial structure, employment structure, industry output per person, put forward the corresponding policy recommendations on how to balance the industrial upgrading and promote employment, realize the coordinated development of industrial structure. The paper’s limitations and deficiencies are summarized, and the further research direction is discussed in the last chapter.
