Research On The Impact Of Productive Service Industry Agglomeration On The Upgrade Of Manufacturing Value Chain

The strength of the country depends on the development of the manufacturing industry.Looking back at the development history of manufacturing industry in developed countries,most of them have experienced the process of transferring laborintensive industries to capital-and technology-intensive industries.In recent years,the development of manufacturing industry has once again become the focus of global attention.Some developed countries have begun to implement the “return of manufacturing industry” and “re-industrialization” strategies to attract foreign manufacturing industries to return to the mainland.In the past,China's participation in the global division of labor based on factor cost advantages or at the expense of the environment is no longer applicable.How to make the manufacturing industry sustainable development,improve China's international market competitiveness and build new advantages in China's manufacturing industry are hot topics of research in nowadays,at the same time relying on inter-industry production cooperation,breaking through the “low-end lock” of the value chain,and promoting the manufacturing value chain to climb to the middle and high-end is the only way to achieve high-quality growth of China's economy.Integration into the global production network division is beneficial to both the development of the domestic economy and the real needs of world development.Encouraging the formation of productive service industry agglomeration in urban areas,promoting the effective integration of productive service industries and manufacturing industries between regions,and bringing into play the industry-related effects of the two industries,which has certain practical significance for realizing China's transformation from a manufacturing big country to a manufacturing power country.Based on the data from Chinese Industrial Enterprises Database,Chinese Customs Database and China City Database from 2003 to 2013,this paper explores the effects and mechanisms of the growth of 277 urban producer services agglomeration on the manufacturing value chain.Results show that: In general,specialization and diversification agglomeration of producer services can effectively promote the manufacturing industry to the high value chain,and the effect of diversification agglomeration is more significant;The impact of the agglomeration of producer services on the rise of manufacturing has differences in the types of trade,the region,the types of ownership,the size of the city and the different of factor density;The mechanism tests indicate that,enterprise productivity and enterprise cost were established as a mediating effect of the growth of the manufacturing service industry and the impact of the manufacturing value chain,By constructing an interactive project industry agglomeration and enterprise cost,enterprise productivity interaction project we find that specialization agglomeration of producer services can amplify the promotion of enterprise productivity to the upgrading of manufacturing value chain through technological spillover effects,diversification agglomeration weakens the negative impact of enterprise costs on the upgrading of manufacturing value chain though economies of scale,this conclusions also verifies the analytical results of the theoretical mechanism.The conclusions of this paper have certain enlightenment for relying on the agglomeration of producer service industry to promote the rise of China's manufacturing value chain.According to the theoretical and empirical research conclusions,this paper proposes relevant policy recommendations.First of all,we must encourage the manufacturing industry to separate the non-core production links and break the “closed self-service model” within the manufacturing industry;Secondly,when formulating the development strategy of the producer service industry and the manufacturing value chain,the heterogeneity of the enterprise and the regional heterogeneity should be considered;Finally,we must reduce the cost of the enterprise and cultivate the awareness of innovation.
