Interactive relationship of manufacturing and producer service industries in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and mechanism
Since 2014,the decentralization of Beijing's non-capital functions,with general manufacturing as the main focus,has become one of the important areas in which the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy has taken the lead in making breakthroughs,and has achieved remarkable results.However,there are still many problems in the collaborative development of industries in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region,and the economic gap within the region has increased rather than decreased.Using the 2017 inter-regional input-output table of Beijing,Tianjin,and Hebei and their panel data for 2003-2019,this study applied the inter-regional input-output analysis method and the simultaneous equations model to measure the inter-industry interaction of the manufacturing and producer service industries among the three regions of Beijing,Tianjin,and Hebei.The results of the study show that:1)The manufacturing and producer service industries in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region have formed a significant two-way interactive relationship,moving from the supply-led stage to the interactive stage.However,in terms of the input-output linkage,the level of inter-industry interaction is low,which may be one of the main reasons for the current low level of industrial synergy in Beijing,Tianjin,and Hebei.2)In contrast,the role of Beijing's producer service industry in promoting the manufacturing industry in the Tianjin-Hebei region is stronger than that of the manufacturing industry.Therefore,strengthening the intra-regional mobility of Beijing's producer service industry will be an important way to promote the coordinated development of industries in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.3)Advanced service factors play a weaker role in the industrial upgrading of labor-and capital-intensive manufacturing industries.In the future,Beijing,Tianjin,and Hebei should continue to strengthen ties and cooperation in the field of high-tech industries,especially to increase the level of inputs from knowledge-and technology-intensive producer services to the manufacturing industry.The research can provide empirical evidence for promoting the structural upgrading and interactive development of the two major industries in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region,and provide ideas for narrowing the regional industrial development gap.
