Study On The Influence Of Industrial Agglomeration On Economic Growth In Western China

Economic development will show different geographical characteristics,which one of them is industrial agglomeration.Industrial agglomeration is a kind of industrial community,which is formed by the concentration of related enterprises in a specific region.Its essence is a spatial representation of resource allocation.Under the trend of economic globalization and regional integration,industrial agglomeration is not only conducive to enhance the competitiveness of industries in various regions,but also to provide a long-term driving force for regional economic development.Therefore,understanding the effects of industrial agglomeration on economic growth,which is beneficial to the national planning and layout of the whole industry,and conducive to the development of industrial agglomeration according to local conditions,and promote regional economic growth,to achieve the balanced development of national economy.Since the implementation of western development strategy,significant changes have taken place in the industrial space pattern of the western region,which has a far-reaching influence on the economic development.However,compared with the eastern and central region,the level of industrial agglomeration in western region is low,so it is of great practical significance to analyze the western industrial agglomeration status and investigate its impact on economic growth,which is beneficial to enhance the western industrial agglomeration level and narrow the regional gap.Because the manufacturing industrial agglomeration is the most obvious in many industries,this paper takes the manufacturing industry of 11 provinces and cities in the western region as the research object,and discusses the relationship between the manufacturing industrial agglomeration and economic growth in the western region.Based on the summary of theoretical and empirical research at home and abroad,this paper uses the revised EG index to measure the industrial agglomeration level of the 27 manufacturing industries in the western region,and then establishes the linear and non-linear regression model based on the EG index,to test the impact on economic growth of manufacturing industrial agglomeration.Then we have drawn the following conclusions:First,China's manufacturing industry agglomeration not only developments to the central and western regions from the eastern region,but also achieves internal transfer within the various regions.Second,compared with the central and eastern regions,the number of high agglomeration industries in the western region has increased steadily,and the level of manufacturing industry agglomeration in the western region has shown a trend of transition from low concentration to high concentration.Third,the manufacturing industry in the western region is no longer simply rely on the resources,labor and other factors to achieve development,but rely on technology,innovation and other means to promote the rapid development of industry.Fourth,the manufacturing industrial agglomeration in the western region shows a significant positive correlation with the economic growth,that is,the industrial agglomeration has a positive effect on the economic growth.In the end,this paper puts forward the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions for the empirical analysis and the actual situation in the western region.
