The traditional production and operation models of enterprises are highly dependent on low-cost labor.Labor prices increased will cause enterprises to lose their low-cost advantages.Enterprises have to speed up product development and technological innovation to seek transformation and upgrading.Along with the innovation of production methods of enterprises in the province,the improvement of factor input will affect the upgrading of the entire industrial structure.The slow development of the industrial structure in Sichuan Province has problems such as insufficient industrial high-efficiency and unobvious high-end products.Therefore,it is a great significance to study the role of labor cost in the industrial structure upgrading.On the basis of the panel data of 21 cities and prefectures in Sichuan Province from2006 to 2018,the research explores the spatial effect of rising labor costs in Sichuan Province on the upgrading of industrial structure from both theoretical and empirical levels.Firstly,this article clarifies the research status and deficiencies by combing related literature,then it confirms the research content according to the realistic background.Secondly,based on the spatial perspective,it sorts out the direct and spatial spillover mechanisms of changes in labor costs that affect the upgrading of Sichuan’s industrial structure.Thirdly,it analyzes the development current situation of labor cost and industrial structure from the province level and the regional sample level.Fourthly,the paper measure the Moran index of the industrial structure upgrade in Sichuan Province by constructing a spatial weight matrix,and we use a spatial measurement model to measure direct effects and spatial spillover effects of labor costs on the industrial structure upgrading in Sichuan Province with the help of STATA15.0,furthermore,it conducts a sub-sample test on the five economic regions.Finally,it summarizes the research conclusions of this article and provides countermeasures and suggestions to promote the upgrading of industrial structure from the government and enterprise perspective.The conclusions of the study are as follows:(1)There is a certain spatial correlation between labor costs and industrial structure upgrading among 21 cities and states in Sichuan Province.(2)Based on the estimation of the Spatial Dubin Model(SDM),the increasing of labor costs in Sichuan Province has advanced the upgrading of the industrial structure,because the significant positive direct effects which exceeds the negative spatial spillover impact of labor costs on the industrial structure upgrading of neighboring regions.(3)The regression data of the sample model by economic zone clears that the spatial effect of rising labor costs on the industrial structure upgrading in different economic zones is significantly different,for example,there is a significant positive impact the labor costs on the industrial structure upgrading in the Chengdu,the Northeast Sichuan and the Southern Sichuan Economic Zone;but there is no significant relationship between labor costing and industrial structure upgrading in Panxi Economic Zone and Northwest Sichuan Economic Zone.Finally,the article proposes suggestions for accelerating industrial structure upgrading in Sichuan from the macro-government and micro-enterprise perspectives.Governments can promote the upgrading of industrial structure by introducing high-quality talents,optimize the consumption environment,and improve industrial development infrastructure.Enterprises achieve product quality upgrades through brand upgrades,technological innovations,efficient management,and strengthen talent training,which in turn promotes the entire industry and even industrial upgrades.This study researches the relationship between labor cost and industrial structure in Sichuan from a spatial perspective.It not only broadens the research perspective,but also enriches research results.Then the paper provides suggestions for the enterprises production upgrade and industrial transformation in Sichuan Province.
