Industry Agglomeration And Foreign Trade

Economist in China and abroad recognized industry agglomeration contributed to development of enterprise economics and region economics long time ago, and did theory analysis to industry agglomeration from different angles. This paper conducted systemic empirical analysis between regional industry agglomeration and foreign trade from the angle of external trade, with put industry agglomeration into opened international economic surroundings. The rapid grow up of electronic manufacture industry in Guangdong province was result of global information technology revolution and industry structure adjust. Its evolvement came through two phases: the first phase was from the end of 1980s to early years of 1990s, in this phrase come sample manufacture, come material manufacture, come pieces assemble and compensate trade is the main modes to took part in global electronic industry specialization;the second phase was the last years in 1990s, electronic products market in home was grown up, companies in home and abroad had a optimism with mainland market and quickened the steps of investing littoral economic industry. Location entropy of electronic manufacture industry in Guangdong province was greater than 2 all the while, stabilized to 3.5 since 2000, so electronic manufacture industry in Guangdong province has stronger competition than other domestic provinces or cities, and has the biggest share. Agglomeration size of electronic manufacture industry in Guangdong province continual increased most years, the agglomeration parameter from 1992 to 2003 was 4.98 showed that electronic manufacture industry in Guangdong province subsisted scale rewards increase in whole. About 1990, the province government conducted industry structure adjusting and followed out "export mend sale in domestic market" guideline, extroversion economics got a rapid progress and the export almost equal to sail in home. In 1990s, industry structure adjusting was taken to deep, electronic industry scale became bigger, and centralize in region;foreign trade scale also became bigger. Industry agglomeration upgrades industry competition from a good manyaspects to promote foreign trade. At the same while, export is the extension of home market demand and shall draw industry agglomeration to grow. Paper adopt Granger causality test to empirical analysis between industry agglomeration scale and foreign trade size of electronic manufacture industry in Guangdong province. The result is that electronic manufacture industry agglomeration in Guangdong was the reason of electronic manufacture industry foreign trade increase, the same, electronic manufacture industry foreign trade was the reason of electronic manufacture industry agglomeration changes;and this relationship has been approved by panel data in city lay. Base on this, put forward reference policies from aspects of industry agglomeration and foreign trade.
