  • Chapter
  • First Online:
A Research Report on the Development of China’s Manufacturing Sector (2016)

Part of the book series: Current Chinese Economic Report Series ((CCERS))

Abstract

This chapter is divided into six sections: The first analyzes the development status of China’s manufacturing sector and evaluates new models. The second section covers the impact of innovations in science and technology on China’s manufacturing sector. The third section discusses energy efficiency in China’s manufacturing sector and its impact factors.

Notes

  1. 1.

    National Bureau of Statistics, “National Industry classification Standards” (GB/T4745-2011).

  2. 2.

    The null hypothesis is that when choosing between the FE and RE models, the RE model is used.

  3. 3.

    Here, Eq. 5.1 becomes a dynamic autogregressive model:

    LN Innovation it  = α+δn Innovation i,t-1 +β 1 ln Agglo it +β 2 ln Pirput it +β 3 ln Eirputit +β 4 ln FDI i +β 5 ln Insti it +ε it , where In novation i,t-1 is the one-period lagged value of the dependent variable (capacity for technological innovation).

  4. 4.

    The GMM estimation system consists of one-step system GMM estimation and two-step system GMM estimation. Drawing on the research of Liu and Yin (2008), the two-step system GMM estimation method is chosen to estimate independent variable coefficients.

  5. 5.

    The null hypothesis for the AR (1) test is that estimation equation residuals do not exhibit first-order serial correlation.

  6. 6.

    The null hypothesis for the AR (2) test is that estimation equation residuals do not exhibit second-order serial correlation.

  7. 7.

    Li and Qi (2011) proposed that, compared to the Sargan test, the Hansen Test is better suited for use where heteroscedasticity exists. Thus, in order to eliminate possible heteroscedasticity, the Hansen Test is used in our study. The null hypothesis for the Hansen Test is that all selected instrumental variables are valid.

  8. 8.

    According to the principles of data availability and consistency, this chapter considers only the following 20 manufacturing sector industries: processing of food from agricultural products; manufacture of foods; manufacture of wine, drinks, and refined tea; manufacture of textiles; manufacture of textile wearing and apparel; manufacture of paper and paper products; processing of petroleum, coking, processing of nuclear fuel; manufacture of raw chemical materials and chemical products; manufacture of medicines; manufacture of chemical fibers; manufacture of non-metallic mineral products; smelting and pressing of ferrous metals; smelting and pressing of non-ferrous metal; manufacture of metal products; manufacture of general purpose machinery; manufacture of special purpose machinery; transportation equipment manufacturing; manufacture of electrical machinery and equipment; computer, communication, and other electronic equipment; and manufacture of measuring instruments. Herein, the Chinese manufacture of automobiles industry and the manufacture of railway, ship, aerospace, and other transportation equipment industry are collectively referred to as transportation equipment manufacturing.

  9. 9.

    The statistical classification is “Industrial Enterprises above a Designated Scale.”.

  10. 10.

    Due to missing annual employment and industrial added-value data for industries of China’s manufacturing sector, in this chapter, we use industrial output density to measure the levels of industrial clustering in industries of China’s manufacturing sector.

  11. 11.

    The statistical classification is “Industrial Enterprises above a Designated Scale.”.

  12. 12.

    Borrowing from the research of Li and Du (2004), we divide the abovementioned 20 industries of China’s manufacturing sector into the three main industrial categories of textiles and other light industrial goods manufacturing; resource processing; and machinery and electronics manufacturing. Herein, the category of textiles and other light industrial goods manufacturing includes the following six industries: processing of food from agricultural products; manufacture of foods; manufacture of wine, drinks, and refined tea; manufacture of textile wearing and apparel; and manufacture of paper and paper products. The resource processing category includes the following seven manufacturing industries: processing of petroleum, coking, processing of nuclear fuel; manufacture of raw chemical materials and chemical products; manufacture of medicines; manufacture of chemical fibers; manufacture of non-metallic mineral products; smelting and pressing of ferrous metals; and smelting and pressing of non-ferrous metals. The machinery and electronic goods category includes the following seven industries: manufacture of metal products; manufacture of general purpose machinery; manufacture of special purpose machinery; transportation equipment manufacturing; manufacture of electrical machinery and equipment; computer, communication, and other electronic equipment; and manufacture of measuring instruments.
