Analysis Of Agglomeration Of Manufacturing Industries In Chinese Central Area And Its Influential Factors: Based On The Ellison-Glaeser Index

For the past years, as the industrial concentration degree of the eastern coastal and southern coastal areas rising, our country industry pattern, particularly in manufacturing, has taken place. Certain labor-intensive and highly-invested manufacturing industries transfer to the central and western regions from the eastern coastal region. As the region of the rise of central China strategy, the central region locates in the hinterland of China, and plays an increasingly important role of linking the east to the west and the south to the north. However, series problem is exposed to the central area, such as the low level of industry, short of certain high technology industry. Transforming economic developing mode, adjusting and optimizing industrial structure, creating a new situation of scientific development are urgency to do. And we can solve the middle area industrial development bottleneck with agglomeration industry development. Based on this, this paper chooses the manufacturing industries in the central area as research object, analyzes the status and the characteristics of manufacturing agglomeration in central area and its influencing factors, and put forward certain countermeasures. It is not only benefit to grasp the present situation and the law of manufacturing agglomeration in central area, but also contribute to make the policy of regional industry reasonably.Firstly, this paper reviewed the connotation, type, measuring method and theoretical basis of industry agglomeration. Secondly, it analyzes the regional and industries development characteristics of manufacturing industry in the centre area, and the overall characteristics of the present situation and industries characteristics of manufacturing agglomeration in central area with Ellison-Glaeser index. Thirdly, it concludes the influencing factors of manufacturing agglomeration in central area, and empirically tested the influential effect from all kinds of factors with unit root test, co-integration test and method of regression. Forthly, we put forward certain countermeasures from four aspects. The main research conclusions are as follows: first and foremost, the overall agglomeration level of manufacturing in the center area is low, and agglomeration advantage is not obvious. Only five industries has industry scale effects, such as transportation equipment industry, the ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industy, metal products industry, communications equipment and electronic equipment industry, textiles and garment industry. Moreover, High concentration level of manufacturing industry in central China mainly concentrated in capital-intensive industries or technology intensive industries, and the speed of capital-intensive industries and technology intensive industry aggregation is higher than labor-intensive industries. At last, Accumulation of physical capital and human capital elements is an important pulling force to promote capital intensive and technology intensive industry spatial agglomeration in the central region, and Labor factor accumulation is and important pulling force to pull the labor-intensive industry agglomeration in the central region.
