The evolution and influencing factors of specialized agglomeration of leading industries in the Yangtze River Delta region
Taking 312 county units in the Yangtze River Delta region as the research objects,this paper expounds the spatial cluster characteristics and change rules of the three leading manu-facturing industries with the comprehensive application of spatial cluster index,and analyzes the influencing factors by using the spatial panel data model.The main conclusions are as follows:First of all,the spatial cluster characteristics of the leading manufacturing showing a significant spatial imbalance in the Yangtze River Delta region.The cluster center is mainly located in the region composed of southern region of Jiangsu Province,Shanghai and northwestern region of Zhejiang Province,and this distribution pattern is relatively stable.The north region of Jiangsu Province and southwest region of Zhejiang Province are mainly in the sub-marginal position,and the leading industries cluster are less.Anhui Province is mainly in the marginal position,and most of the county units in Anhui Province do not have cluster advantages.The electronic infor-mation manufacturing shows the most obvious characteristics of core-periphery distribution.Al-though there are differences between textile industry and automobile manufacturing,it can be proved this characteristic.Secondly,the advantages of land cost and labor cost will attract lead-ing industries to agglomeration.The expansion of local market scale has a negative effect on the spatial cluster of electronic information manufacturing.The construction of development zones above the provincial level will have different effects on the spatial cluster of textile industry and electronic information manufacturing.Thirdly,the development of urbanization and the growth of city size will promote the spatial cluster of automobile manufacturing and electronic informa-tion manufacturing,which is not conducive to the spatial cluster of textile industry.Fourthly,the globalization factors such as foreign capital entry and export increase will promote the improve-ment of spatial cluster of leading industries in the Yangtze River Delta region.Finally,we put forward specific countermeasures and suggestions from the aspects of promoting specialized in-dustrial agglomeration and intra-regional industrial division of labor.
