Regional Market Integration And Manufacturing Industry Agglomeration

New economic geography model and new growth theory concluded that industrial agglomeration and increasing returns tend to be associated with the largest power source of a country's economic growth,the market integration is an important determinant of manufacturing gathered or not.Since China's reform and opening up,along with the reform of our country's opening to the outside world and respecting the system which the market plays a key role in resources allocation.The reform broke the balanced strategic development pattern which is for political reasons before reform and opening in China.Especially in the nineties of the last century,the Midwest resources quickly gathered to eastern coastal areas,more and more scholars pay close attention to the spatial distribution of China's industry,especially the issue of industrial geographic concentration.After decades of fast economic development in our country,the social and economic development has made remarkable achievements,Along with our country economic development stepping into "the new normal"."Steady growth,structural adjustment,promoting transformation" is the main task of the current economic developing.China begin to pay close attention to the coordinated development of regional integration,"the Yangtze river economic belt"rise to the national development strategy,and this provides a good opportunity for the coordinated development of the Yangtze river economic belt.This thesis takes related provinces and cities of the Yangtze river economic belt as the main analyzing objects,Based on new economic geography,the analysis focus on market integration and manufacturing agglomeration.At the same time this thesis combine theoretical analysis,quantitative analysis,empirical analysis and qualitative analysis together.First we start from the classical theory of the relation between market integration and industrial agglomeration(this thesis limited to manufacturing),along with the classical theories and the related literature review,we use the "Market integration and manufacturing agglomeration " as the spindle,we start from the terms of area,time,trends and related influence factors.This thesis is divided into five parts.The first part:introduction.This part mainly introduces the background of the Yangtze river economic zone and the definition,the main problems,theoretical analysis and research significance of this thesis.At the same time,we make a comprehensive review about some valuable literature related to market integration and manufacturing.The second part:literature review.This section describes some classic theories and theoretical research results of market integration and manufacturing agglomeration at home and abroad.The third part:the quantitative analysis.This part we do quantitative analysis about market integration and manufacturing agglomeration of different provinces of our country.Based on the measured results,Starting from the large view of the nation,the four major economic regions,the Yangtze river economic belt,and the small view of the area of the upper,the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze river economy belt,and two dimensions of regions and provinces,we analysis the national and the regional market integration and manufacturing agglomeration index changing trend.The fourth part:the empirical research.This part combine theory with actual situation of the Yangtze river economic belt.we use industry clustering analysis model based on the economic geography,new economic geography and economic policies to do the empirical research about the influence of market integration on manufacturing industry agglomeration of the Yangtze river economic belt gathered,and give the corresponding conclusions.The fifth part:conclusion and policy recommendations.This part summarized the research conclusions of the Yangtze river economic belt market integration and manufacturing agglomeration,and put forward policy suggestions for the Yangtze river economic belt to be the new growth pole of China combined with "the eastern industrial transformation and upgrading,the Midwest ordered to undertake the eastern industry transfer" strategy.
