Abstract:

With the acceleration of China's urbanization process, the improvement of urbanization level effects on various aspects of China's economy and society. This article focuses on urbanization level and spatial distribution of China's manufacturing industry. Based on statistical data of 2001-2011 and panel regression, it finds that the level of urbanization is an important factor affecting the spatial distribution of China's manufacturing industry, and they have an inversed U-shaped relationship. Using the share of the provinces and autonomous regions' manufacturing output accounting for the country's total manufacturing output to reflect the spatial distribution of China's manufacturing industry, it shows that when the level of urbanization is lower than 36.26%, the share of the manufacturing sector is getting larger along with the improvement of urbanization level. While when it is over 36.26%, the improvement of urbanization level will no longer push up the share of the manufacturing sector, but lead to its decline. Furthermore, labor-intensive, capital-intensive and technology-intensive manufacturing have certain differences in the spatial distribution, the degree of change and share, and the correlation between urbanization level and spatial distribution of manufacturing industry. The inflection points for labor-intensive and capital-intensive manufacturing are 26.91% and 29.16%, both lower than 48.54%, the inflection points for technology-intensive manufacturing. And it confirms the basic rule that labor-intensive and capital-intensive manufacturing industry transform and upgrade to technology-intensive manufacturing industry. In addition, labor wage is positively related to the spatial distribution of China's manufacturing industry. And transportation infrastructure level and location also have an impact on the spatial distribution of China's manufacturing industry.
