本文利用2004年经济普查的数据,分析了广东省制造业的地理分布特征。广东省大多数的制造业地理集中程度都较高,并且主要集中在珠三角地区,很多地理集中程度较高的制造业分布都存在较高的空间自相关性。对广东省制造业集中的实证研究表明,资源和能源投入强度较高的产业较为集聚,并且出口显著提高了产业集聚程度。尽管外资是广东省制造业发展的重要力量,但是并没有促进产业的集聚,说明制造业外资已经进入扩散阶段。本文的结果和全国尺度的研究结果存在差异,这说明地理尺度对于研究产业集聚非常重要。
The authors analyses the spatial characteristics of manufacturing industries in Guangdong province. As a province located close to Hong Kong, Guangdong has attracted a great amount of FDI, which contributed a lot to the development of manufacturing industries. There exist many specialized towns that account for a large part of manufacturing industries in Guangdong. Most manufacturing industries agglomerate are located in Pearl River Delta, including Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan and Zhongshan. The authors calculate Gini index of both 2-dig and 3-dig manufacturing and the results show that many industries are quite ag- glomerated. The most agglomerated industries are those requiring special inputs, with high entry level or more regulated, like tobacco and petroleum industries. According to global Moran's I index, many manufacturing industries are significantly spatial auto correlated at both county-level cities as well as prefectural level cities in Guangdong. The investigation of communications equipment industry, electronic computer industry, and household electrical appliance industry shows that the highly agglomerated and spatially auto correlated industries are usually more competitive than other industries. Globalization, endowments, scale economy, industrial relationship, technology spillover, local protection and transportation cost are the main factors that may influence the agglomeration of industries. The empirical study shows industries that are highly relied on resource and energy input are more agglomerated. The statistical results show that globalization factors are important for industrial agglomeration. Exporting promotes industrial agglomeration significantly, while foreigu direct investment has no positive correlation with agglomeration, which indicates that FDI in Guangdong has spread out to inner cities. The transportation cost has a negative impact on industrial agglomeration. The local protection factors have no significant relationship with industrial agglomeration, which is consi
