The Impact Of Manufacturing Agglomeration On The Revitalization Of The Northeast Industry

The issue of industrial revitalization in the three eastern provinces has become an important issue in China's economic development.This paper attempts to find a way to revitalize the Northeast from the perspective of industrial agglomeration.First of all,this paper studies the industrial clusters in Northeast China.A sample of 31 industries in the manufacturing industries of the three provinces from2000 to 2016 was selected.The location entropy and spatial Gini coefficient were used to analyze and measure the regional industrial agglomeration.The research found that: the trend of manufacturing agglomeration in the three eastern provinces has increased.The industries concentrated in Heilongjiang Province are mainly capital and labor-intensive.The concentration of technology-intensive industries in Liaoning Province has increased,but there is also dependence on capital and resources.The overall performance of Jilin Province is good.The entropy of 17 industrial areas is on the rise.The technology-intensive industries have a comparativeadvantage in traditional Chinese medicine manufacturing,chemical raw materials and product manufacturing,and transportation equipment manufacturing.Secondly,in order to observe whether the northeast manufacturing agglomeration brings industrial revitalization,this paper focuses on the impact of manufacturing industry agglomeration in the three eastern provinces on total factor productivity.Using the DEA-Malmquist productivity index method to measure the total factor productivity of manufacturing industries in the three provinces,it is found that the total factor productivity of most industries is increasing.The total factor productivity of labor-intensive and capital-intensive industries in the Northeast is higher than that of technology-intensive and resources-intensive industry.Using the nonlinear panel threshold model,there is a more important finding: there is a significant inverted U-shaped relationship between industrial agglomeration and total factor productivity in labor-intensive industries in the three provinces.Further,this paper studies the channel problem of the influence of industrial agglomeration on total factor productivity in the three provinces.Three channels of intra-industry transaction costs,technical knowledge spillovers,and government resource inputs were examined.The three channels jointly explained 24.5% of the effect of industrial agglomeration on total factor productivity.The discovery of technical knowledge spillovers is an important channel for the impact of industrial agglomeration on the promotion of total factor productivity.Next,this paper deeply studies the influencing factors of industrial agglomeration industry and provides empirical support for solving the problem ofover-aggregation in overcapacity industries in Northeast manufacturing.The study found that policies to increase labor intensity and reduce transportation cost subsidies for overcapacity industries can effectively curb their excessive agglomeration;while the pursuit of economies of scale and increased government resources will increase the excess capacity.Finally,based on the results of empirical research,combined with the problems of manufacturing industry agglomeration in the three provinces of the three provinces,it is proposed to control the concentration of labor-intensive industries within the optimal range of the greatest impact on the total factor productivity,and increase the technology-intensive industries.Industrial agglomeration promotes the development of total factor productivity,thereby promoting the development of manufacturing industries in the three provinces.In addition,it is necessary to reduce the slowdown in total factor productivity growth caused by excessive government resource investment.
