The spatial relationship of urban division of labor in China from the perspective of industrial transfer
Through the lens of industrial transfer,this study leverages data spanning from 2004 to 2020 to empirically investigate the spatial interrelationships of the division of labor among prefecture-level cities in China.The research constructs a spatial Origin-Destination(OD)model to scrutinize the determinants influencing the urban division of labor.The findings elucidate several key points:(1)A substantial network autocorrelation attribute is prevalent in the urban industrial division of labor.In comparison to the destination network autocorrelation,the source network autocorrelation exerts a more potent influence on the division of labor,whereas the source-destination network autocorrelation imparts a detrimental effect on the division of labor.(2)The intensity of network autocorrelation in urban industrial division of labor is intertwined with the geographical locations of the industrial transfer"city pairs"and the disparity in economic development levels,exhibiting industrial idiosyncrasies and temporal phases.The network autocorrelation of industrial division of labor is more conspicuous within and among cities in the eastern and central regions,as well as between cities with substantial disparities in economic development.The network autocorrelation of spatially mobile industries and the urban industrial division of labor prior to 2012 is also more discernible.(3)The urban industrial division of labor is propelled by a myriad of factors,encompassing spatial distance,the digital economy development levels of both the source and destination cities,the extent of openness to the global market,human capital reserves,environmental regulations,energy consumption structure,financial constraints,and innovation capacities.These factors influence the division of labor and manifest spillover effects.Consequently,in discerning the paradigms of urban industrial labor division and facilitating the metamorphosis and enhancement of urban industries,it is imperative to consider the asymmetrical ramifications engendered by industrial transfer and its concomitant network interdependencies.
