The Context Of Global Manufacturing Transfer Shanghai International Financial Center,

International Financial Center (IFC) and the World Manufacturing Center are always two of the hottest economic topics in the world and there have already been lots of research papers on them, while most of them discuss each center separately. It' s rare to find a paper on research of the relationship of the two Centers. This thesis creatively studies the relationship of both centers in both qualitative and quantitative way, and tries to offer some further development suggestions.In qualitative analysis, this thesis starts from the history of the IFC, and points out a general law that World Manufacturing Centers often expedites International Financial Centers, which show a certain degree of independence during development. Based on the basic finance theory, such as Financial Agglomeration Theory, a simple causal analysis is conducted to justify the argument. In quantitative analysis, this thesis firstly sets up evaluation system for each center. One is the Manufacturing Performance Index, and the other is IFC Index. The analysis of the indicators demonstrated that China starts to take shape as a World Manufacturing Center, while Shanghai still has a long way to go to be a real IFC.The analysis finally offers some suggestions on the development of Shanghai International Financial Center. We should base on the international manufacturing and stick to adsorption-based progressive development strategies: manufacturing adsorbing finance, onshore finance adsorbing offshore finance and basic finance adsorbing derivative finance.
