Research On The Impact Of Producer Services Agglomeration On Manufacturing Upgrading In China

Accelerating the upgrading of manufacturing industry is tremendously momentous to the development of manufacturing industry,improving quality and efficiency.In recent years,all localities have taken industrial agglomeration as a point to promote Chinese manufacturing industry upgrading by relying on the agglomeration development of producer services.However,at present,many regions improve the agglomeration level of producer service enterprises by blindly building industrial agglomeration areas and issuing various preferential policies.This distortion causes problems such as unreasonable industrial layout and obvious crowding effect in the agglomeration areas,which not only hinders the development of producer service enterprises,but also slows down the upgrading of manufacturing enterprises.The paper reexamines the mechanism of producer services affecting the upgrading of Chinese manufacturing industry by virtue of the spatial organization form of agglomeration,which has strong practical significance for breaking the bottleneck restricting the agglomeration development of Chinese producer services enterprises and finding an effective path to promote the upgrading of manufacturing industry.Based on the actual needs of manufacturing upgrading,the paper discusses the impact effect and mechanism of producer services agglomeration on manufacturing upgrading.Firstly,it expounds the research background and significance,combs and summarizes the relevant existing literature.Secondly,after defining the classification and agglomeration of producer services and the basic connotation of manufacturing upgrading,this paper reviews the relevant theories of industrial agglomeration and industrial upgrading,and expounds the mechanism.Furthermore,it introduces the formula to measure industrial agglomeration and manufacturing industrial upgrading.According to the formula,it measures and analyzes the change trend of producer service agglomeration and manufacturing upgrading in China and regions from year2005 to 2019.Finally,several econometric models are used to verify the mechanism of the agglomeration development of producer services affecting the upgrading of manufacturing industry.The study found that: firstly,during 2005-2019,Chinese producer services’ level continued to improve,the manufacturing industry upgraded continuously,and showed the characteristics of phased changes.Secondly,from the national level,the development of producer services in the form of agglomeration drives the continuous optimization and promoting manufacturing industry,but there are regional and industrial heterogeneity.Thirdly,The internal logic between the two is that the economies of scale and the effect of division of labor and cooperation produced by agglomeration reduce the manufacturing cost,promote the upgrading of manufacturing industry;the innovation effect promotes the technological innovation level of producer services and manufacturing industry and promotes the former to act on the latter.Fourthly,the agglomeration of producer services promotes the upgrading of manufacturing industry,and the spatial spillover effect exists and is positive,which reaches the maximum in an area of 1800 kilometers.According to the research conclusions and combined with the actual development situation,this paper puts forward policy suggestions such as actively building an industrial agglomeration platform,enriching the agglomeration level of producer services,establishing a complete technological innovation system,strengthening the development of regional collaborative agglomeration and strengthening the construction of regional transportation network,so as to release the positive effect of producer services agglomeration to a greater extent.
