“…[22] used panel data from 1987 to 2001 to explore the influencing factors of industrial agglomeration in China, indicating that economic openness promotes the spatial agglomeration of Chinese industry, while opening up is influenced by geographical and historical factors. [23] uses urban-level employment and production data to find that trade openness has a positive impact on population spatial agglomeration. [24] using the difference between the real wage variable region as a measure of regional agglomeration, which has also been a positive correlation.…”

This paper has analyzed the impact of international trade mechanisms to spatial economic structure, panel data 2001-2016 China's 30 provinces, and factors which affect Chinese economic structure of empirical research on trade openness, and found that, on the whole, trade openness has no significant direct effect on China's economic spatial pattern, and indirectly promotes policy advantages to make economic activities more spatially agglomerate, and to make economic activities more dispersed by promoting transportation infrastructure. From the perspective of the East, Central and West regions, the trade openness directly promotes the agglomeration of the East and West regions. The regional policy advantage is the main mechanism affecting the regional economic agglomeration. The human capital mechanism and the transportation infrastructure mechanism in the eastern region respectively make dispersal and agglomeration; the transportation infrastructure in the central part makes the space more dispersed; the human capital mechanism and the transportation infrastructure mechanism in the western region respectively make the space agglomerate and decentralized. Local governments should strengthen regional cooperation and formulate differentiated trade policies to lead regional industries to drive regional innovation.

“…They find that transport networks have exerted a positive impact on industry agglomeration, but the magnitude and significance of regression results varied across different industries. Akkemik et al 25 confirmed the explanatory power of new trade theory to industrial concentration. Lu et al 26 found that fiscal support and higher human capital are the two main drivers of industry agglomeration.…”

Understanding the high-tech industrial agglomeration from a spatial-spillover perspective is essential for cities to gain economic and technological competitive advantages. Along with rapid urbanization and the development of fast transportation networks, socioeconomic interactions between cities have been ever-increasing, traditional spatial metrics are not enough to describe actual inter-city connections. High-skilled labor flow between cities strongly influences the high-tech industrial agglomeration, yet receives less attention. By exploiting unique large-scale datasets and tools from complex network and data mining, we construct an inter-city high-skilled labor flow network, which was integrated into spatial econometric models. Our regression results indicate that spatial-spillover effects exist in the development of high-tech industries in the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration region. Moreover, the spatial-spillover effects are stronger among cities with a higher volume of high-skilled labor flows than among cities with just stronger geographic connections. Additionally, we investigate the channels for the spillover effects and discover that inadequate local government expenses on science and technology likely hamper the high-tech industrial agglomeration, so does the inadequate local educational provision. The increasing foreign direct investments in one city likely encourages the high-tech industrial agglomeration in other cities because of the policy inertia toward traditional industries.

“…Extralocatities linkages may play an essential role in regional disparities in a developing country by determining the locations of industries (Akkemik & Göksal, 2014). Agglomeration economies portray a phenomenon widely observed throughout Europe, the United States and especially in developing countries (Knorringa & Nadvi, 2016; Lema et al, 2018; Yang et al, 2022).…”

This study aimed to empirically analyse the relationship between technological intensity profile and local socio‐economic development, using the theories of path dependence and microregional agglomeration economies. We applied the technique of linear hierarchical modelling with data from 645 municipalities in Brazil. Our results demonstrated that current municipal socio‐economic development could be explained by the local technological path itself but even more so by the technological intensity of the microregion. This article's contribution lies in its union of two theoretical perspectives and its adoption of a quantitative approach, allowing for the analysis of municipal development at two levels, local and microregional.
