Study On Industrial Efficiency And Industrial Agglomeration Of Cultural Industry

In the decades since the reform and opening up,China’s economy has grown rapidly,the overall productivity level and people’s living standards have been significantly improved,and people have gradually put forward higher requirements for material and cultural life.The cultural industry can meet the deeper spiritual needs of people’s lives by providing cultural products and places for cultural activities.It is also a sunrise industry at present,attracting a large amount of capital investment.However,the development of cultural industry in various regions is not balanced,people’s life demand and supply do not adapt to the situation is common.Therefore,in recent years,one of the main concerns of regional development is how to smooth out these imbalances through more reasonable planning to develop the cultural industry.Industrial efficiency and industrial agglomeration are two important indicators to describe the development of an industry,and also play an important role in the study of cultural industry.Especially in the current background of the imbalance between people’s cultural demand and supply,the study of these two indicators can dig out the imbalance between regions,and make more effective use of resources to make different regions achieve coordinated development and ultimately meet people’s growing spiritual needs.Based on this,this paper takes the development efficiency and concentration degree of cultural industry in 31 provinces and cities as the main research object.By sorting out the status quo and relevant definitions of China’s cultural industry and referring to relevant literature,this paper selected the cultural and related industry data of 31 provinces and cities in China from 2013 to 2019 as the original index according to the data availability and rationality of caliber.The specific research process is divided into two parts.The first part is an empirical study on measuring and analyzing the development efficiency of cultural industry.The main methods include super-efficiency DEA window analysis,Malmquist index analysis and three-stage DEA model.The second part is an empirical study that combines the development efficiency of cultural industry with the agglomeration of cultural industry.The main method is to analyze the influencing factors of the agglomeration degree of cultural industry by using spatial econometric model and verify the positive correlation between the efficiency of cultural industry and the agglomeration degree of cultural industry.Through the above analysis,suggestions are put forward for the government on the future development of cultural industry.Results show:(1)through the super efficiency DEA window analysis,2013-2019China’s 31 provinces,cities and the overall efficiency of the cultural industry development is in good condition on the average,but four window period presented by downward trend,the regional difference in terms of three kinds of efficiency value generally presents the features of western over central over eastern;(2)Malmquist index method found that only Shanghai’s MI value was lower than 0.8 in 2019.Combined with the previous analysis,it was found that the excessive expansion of cultural industry scale would lead to the decline of technological progress index or pure technical efficiency,whereas a certain degree of reduction would lead to improvement;(3)The three-stage DEA model shows that the changes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are large before and after adjustment,while that of Shanghai is small.The differences are due to the large gap between the former and the latter in the proportion of per capita entertainment consumption expenditure,education level and urbanization rate.(4)The higher the efficiency of the cultural industry is,the higher the degree of cultural industry agglomeration will be.Meanwhile,the efficiency of the cultural industry of the provinces closer to the region will also be improved to a certain extent;conversely,the local industrial efficiency of the regions with higher degree of cultural agglomeration will also be higher,forming a benign mutual promotion between the two.Finally,based on the above conclusions,this paper puts forward a suggestion:first,the cultural industry in the rapid expansion leads to low efficiency of industry development,especially the number into the enterprises and the staff number of excessive growth will greatly reduce the efficiency of the entire region’s cultural industry,should adjust to keep industry in a better state.Secondly,the government support,namely,the moderate increase of cultural expenses,can significantly improve the efficiency of the cultural industry.Therefore,the attitude of local governments is crucial to the development of the cultural industry.Third,the improvement of government support can bring about the continuous accumulation of human capital and thus improve the degree of cultural industry agglomeration,while the improvement of the degree of cultural industry agglomeration can bring about the increase of the efficiency of cultural industry,forming a virtuous cycle.The innovation points of this paper are as follows :(1)the index selection and method selection of efficiency research of cultural industry are updated based on previous research experience;(2)A more dynamic description of the development efficiency of the cultural industry of 31 provinces and cities in China is made by using the window perspective and panel data,and the differences of the efficiency of the cultural industry are analyzed from various aspects by combining Malmquist index and three-stage DEA model;(3)Innovatively combine the research on the concentration level of cultural industry with the development efficiency of cultural industry,so as to further explore the development path of cultural industry.
