Impact of Industrial Synergy Agglomeration on the Exports Technological Complexity of Manufacturing Product:Research Based on the Intermediary Effect of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Level
China's economy has transitioned from a phase of high-speed growth to one of high-quality development,entering a critical period of transforming the development model,optimizing the economic structure,and shifting growth drivers.Promoting the high-level integration,interaction,and coordinated development of manufacturing and service industries is a pivotal measure for fostering innovation-driven growth,advancing industrial transformation and upgrading,and enhancing international industrial competitiveness.It also serves as a crucial support for accelerating the cultivation of new productivity drivers,achieving new industrialization,and advancing the high-quality development of advanced manufacturing.Against this backdrop,this study considers both the positive and negative externalities of regional industrial coordinated agglomeration,delving into the mechanisms through which the collaborative agglomeration of producer services and manufacturing drives new industrialization and enhances industrial export competitiveness.Using cross-sectional panel data from 278 Chinese cities from 2010 to 2020,a two-way fixed-effects model is constructed to examine the impact of the coordinated agglomeration of regional service and manufacturing industries on the technological complexity of manufactured exports.The results indicate that the coordinated agglomeration of services and manufacturing exerts an inverted U-shaped influence on the technological complexity of manufactured exports.The moderating effects of digital economy development and intellectual property protection levels steepen this inverted U-shaped curve.The impact of industrial agglomeration on export technological complexity operates through changes in innovation and entrepreneurship levels.In regions east of the Hu Huanyong Line with flat terrain and in cities with moderate population sizes,this inverted U-shaped relationship is significant,whereas it is not prominent in other regions.Furthermore,the coordinated agglomeration of transportation,warehousing,postal services,leasing,and business services with manufacturing exhibits a significant inverted U-shaped impact on export technological complexity,while the influence of other service industries is not significant.Therefore,regional policymakers must remain vigilant about the negative effects of excessive industrial agglomeration while accelerating the digital transformation of industries,optimizing intellectual property protection policies,and promoting the reallocation of production factors to regions with lower industrial agglomeration levels.Such measures will enable the full realization of the potential of industrial coordinated agglomeration to enhance export competitiveness.
