Research On The Measurement And Driving Mechanism Of The Integration Development Of China’s Logistics And Manufacturing Industries

The manufacturing industry is an important pillar industry for China’s economic development,and the transformation of the manufacturing industry is indispensable for realizing the high-quality development of economy.The National "14th Five-Year Plan" and the Vision 2035 Program both propose to take the service manufacturing industry as the guide for the transformation of the manufacturing industry,and to promote the integrated development of the manufacturing industry and the productive service industry.The logistics industry is a supportive industry for the development of the manufacturing industry,and also an important support and guarantee for the construction of a new pattern of domestic and international double circulation economic development,and the integrated development of the two is a key component in promoting the integration of the manufacturing industry and the modern service industry,which is also an important element in the national economic development plan.With the support of government policy,the integration of the two has been expanding and deepening,but there are still problems such as the level is not high enough,the scope is not wide enough,and the degree is not deep enough.The supply and operation of the manufacturing and logistics industries have a direct impact on the smooth operation of the entire economy and the order of people’s lives.Therefore,the integration of the logistics industry and the manufacturing industry is of great significance to the stable operation of other industries,to the normal operation of the people’s life and to their own transformation.In this thesis,by combing the current situation of domestic and foreign research and related theories,we measure the degree and driving factors of integration between the two industries at the level of node and network,and study the integration mechanism and driving factors,etc.,so as to design a path that is conducive to the promotion of the in-depth integration between the logistics industry and the manufacturing industry.The thesis focuses on the following research works:(1)Measure of integration.From two levels of node and network,and two directions of logistics integrated into the manufacturing industry and manufacturing industry integrated into the logistics industry,the integration degree of two industries in 30 provinces(municipalities)in our country is measured.At the node level,three indexes of unidirectional integration degree,comprehensive integration degree and industry integration degree were constructed to measure.The research results show that: First,the degree of logistics industry integration into manufacturing industry is basically at the initial integration level in each province(city),the manufacturing industry is not highly dependent on the demand of logistics industry,and the contribution of logistics industry input to manufacturing industry is not strong.The integration degree of the manufacturing industry into the logistics industry is mostly medium-high integration and medium integration.The logistics industry has a relatively high dependence on the manufacturing industry,and the development of the manufacturing industry has a strong ability to drive the demand of the logistics industry.Secondly,in terms of spatial distribution,the agglomeration characteristics of the high-value area and the second-high-value area of the integration degree in both directions are weakening,while the agglomeration characteristics of the low-value area and the second-low value area are strengthening,indicating that the integration degree of the two industries has a negative spatial spillover effect.Thirdly,the balance of the integration degree is weak,and the logistics industry’s dependence on the manufacturing industry is significantly higher than that of the manufacturing industry on the logistics industry,and this degree of asymmetry shows an increasing trend.Finally,the result of industry integration degree shows that the capital-intensive manufacturing industry has the highest interaction degree with the logistics industry,while the labor-intensive manufacturing industry has the lowest interaction degree.An undirected network,a directed network M and a directed network N were constructed to measure the degree of integration between the two industries at the network level.The results show that,firstly,the breadth of integration is wide.30 provinces(municipalities)have integration relationships between the logistics industry and the manufacturing industry,and the logistics industry has integration relationships with most of the manufacturing subsectors.Second,there is heterogeneity in the depth of integration.From the value of intermediate inputs,there are heterogeneity and network agglomeration phenomenon in the networks of the two integration directions.In comparison,the network cohesion of the manufacturing integrated into the logistics industry is weaker.Finally,there are certain spatial clustering characteristics within cohesive subgroups,spatial dependence is becoming less and less significant,and subgroup-to-subgroup linkages are getting stronger,but the linkages of two-way interactions are on a downward trend.(2)Analysis of the integration mechanism of China’s logistics industry and manufacturing industry.This thesis analyzes why and how the integration between the logistics industry and manufacturing industry happens from four aspects: integration conditions,driving factors,integration process and characteristics of the integration stage.Industrial relevance,cross-cooperation at industrial boundaries and a sound knowledge transfer diffusion mechanism are the basic conditions for the integration between the two industries.Integration driving factors include economic development,industrial agglomeration,technological innovation,government policy and transportation infrastructure.Analyze the process of integrating based on two levels: the industrial chain and the value chain.According to the integration history of China’s logistics industry and manufacturing industry from the reform and opening up to the present,the stages of integration between the two industries are divided into industrial association,industrial coordination and industrial integration,and the characteristics of each stage is analyzed.(3)Empirical analysis of driving factors.Based on the analysis of integration mechanism,empirical analysis is conducted on five driving factors: economic development,industrial agglomeration,technological innovation,government policy,and transportation infrastructure,and the heterogeneity of regional,temporal,and manufacturing industry types is analyzed.The research at the node level found that economic development has failed to significantly contribute to the increase in the integration degree of the logistics industry into the manufacturing industry,possibly due to the low level of economic servitization,and per capita GDP in the country.Government policies have failed to significantly promote the integration degree of the manufacturing industry into the logistics industry,and the lack of corresponding implementation rules may be the reason why the policy dividends have not been fully released.The results of the heterogeneity analysis found that manufacturing industry agglomeration and government policy did not play a significant role in promoting the development of the integration degree of the two directions in the eastern region,probably due to the influence of imitation dependence and spatial congestion effects.The impact of economic development,technological innovation and transportation infrastructure on the integration degree of the logistics industry into the manufacturing industry in the western region is not significant,and the impact of logistics industry agglomeration,technological innovation and transportation infrastructure on the integration degree of the manufacturing industry into the logistics industry in the western region is not significant,which may be related to its industrial structure,and the low utilization rate of infrastructure.Under the stage of high-quality economic development,the role of technological innovation in promoting the integration degree of the two different directions,the role of government policy in promoting the integration degree of the logistics industry into the manufacturing industry and the role of economic development in promoting the integration degree of the manufacturing industry into the logistics industry have become more prominent,while the role of transportation infrastructure in promoting the integration degree of the logistics industry into the manufacturing industry has weakened.The impact of economic development and government policy on the integration degree of the two directions has heterogeneity in the type of manufacturing industry,while the impact of technological innovation on the integration of labor-intensive manufacturing into the logistics industry is not significant.The network-level study found that government policy differences failed to significantly contribute to the density value gap of the integration network between the two industries.In terms of heterogeneity,with the exception of logistics agglomeration,there is regional heterogeneity in the impact of other driver gaps on the gap in the network density value of network of logistics industry integrated into the manufacturing industry.Except for economic development and transportation infrastructure,there is regional heterogeneity in the impact of other driver gaps on gaps in the network density value of network of manufacturing industry integrated into the logistics industry.There is temporal heterogeneity in the effect of the logistics industrial agglomeration gap on the gap in the network density values of the two directional integration networks.There is manufacturing type heterogeneity in the effect of most driver gaps on the density value gap of the networks in two directions.(4)Path design for increasing the degree of integration between the two industries.The overall pathway design unfolds in three dimensions: model,subject,and technology.The design of the internal development path of the integration system is carried out from two aspects: guiding the logistics industry to embed into the manufacturing value chain and promoting the upgrading of the manufacturing value chain.Path design for the external environment of the integration system from both government and market perspectives.
