Abstract:

As the forefront of China's reform and opening up, the Pan-Yangtze River Delta has become one of the most developed areas in China. Recently, it experienced manufacturing relocation due to severe shortage of resources as well as other relevant factors. Hence, issues of manufacturing industry shift in the Pan-Yangtze River Delta have increasingly become academic focus. Based on the perspective of "core-periphery" theory, the Pan-Yangtze River Delta is divided into three regions, "core-marginal-peripheral". Based on the output data of 28 industry departments in the Pan-Yangtze River from 2000 to 2012, we systematically show and decompose the increase of industry at city level in the regions and explain the increase by the regional effect, the structural effect, and the competitive effect. Then the process of industry shift between different regions is studied based on the shift-share analysis diagrams. Finally we explore the mechanism of industry shift using the "push-pull" model.

Key words: Pan-Yangtze River Delta, core-periphery, industry shift, shift-share model
