Industrial Intelligence and Industrial Upgrading:Structural Transformation or Location Transfer?
According to the difference of technical level,the industry can be divided into five categories.Based on the provincial panel data,this paper empirically studies the heterogeneous impact and dynamic evolution trend of industrial intelligence on the development of different industries.The results show that on the whole,industrial intelligence promotes the expansion of medium-and high-tech industries,accelerates the contraction of low-tech industries,and optimizes and upgrades the structure of industrial sectors.From a regional point of view,industrial intelligence plays an obvious role in the return of high-tech industry and the rise of high-tech industry in the eastern region,while the industrial undertaking role in the central region is weakened.Further research has found that the impact of industrial intelligence on industrial structure is not linear and varies across industries.The industrial proportion indicates a inverted U-shaped trend,with an initial increase followed by a decrease,while the service sector exhibits the opposite trend.Additionally,various industries display distinct characteristics of gradient adjustment.In addition,the mechanism test manifests that industrial intelligence promotes the transfer of medium-and low-tech industrial locations and"forces"low-tech industries to transform into high-tech industries and the service sector,thereby promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure.
