Heterogeneity of correlation between the locational condition and industrial transformation of regenerative resource‐based cities in China

Abstract

Based on the measurement of the locational condition from a spatiotemporal perspective, the entropy weight TOPSIS, a grey relational analysis model, and other methods are adopted to analyze the correlative heterogeneity characteristics of industrial restructuring, path locking, and path innovation of regenerative resource-based cities in China from 2005 to 2016. In this paper, we conclude that locational conditions were closely related to industrial transformation.And specifically, the locational condition of study cities was the most closely related to path innovation, followed by the advanced index of industrial structuring, and the weakest correlation with the speed of industrial restructuring. For non-remote cities, due to the proximity of provincial capitals and regional central cities, the path innovation was the fastest, and the correlation with the advanced index was the closest. For remote cities, the advanced index showed a downward trend. However, the correlation between the locational condition and the advanced index or path innovation were both high. For extremely remote cities, the speed and advanced index of industrial restructuring were most disadvantaged. Furthermore, the path locking was the strongest, and the path innovation was the weakest. It had the strongest correlation with path innovation. Overall, the heterogeneity of the correlation between geographic location and industrial transformation is significant.[Correction added on 02 March 2020 after first online publication: the authors affiliation has been separated into two departments and both were linked to the authors.] 772 | ZHENG Et al.

Factor mismatch measurement of resource-based cities: Evidence from all-round optimization total factor productivity decomposition framework

“…Factor misallocation will inhibit the R & D investment of enterprises to affect the improvement of energy efficiency, which will indirectly aggravate environmental pollution. Under the general theoretical framework, the mechanism of the impact of specific factor misallocation on the industrial transformation of resource-dependent cities is as follows: capital misallocation between industries reduces the output efficiency and environmental performance of resource-dependent cities by inhibiting the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure [ [5] , [6] , [7] , 33 ]; the labor mismatch between industries makes the actual output of the city deviate from the output under the optimal allocation, which reduces the transformation efficiency [ 14 , 26 , 32 , 80 ]; energy misallocation among enterprises reduces energy efficiency and environmental efficiency by encouraging enterprises to use energy to replace technology, while energy misallocation among industries will occupy the elements needed for enhancing alternative industries, inhibit the upgrading of urban industrial structure, cause the loss of energy efficiency and environmental efficiency [ 5 , 27 , 28 ], and hinder the overall industrial transformation of resource-dependent cities.…”

“…With the completion of industrialization, the main driving force for the progression of urban economy is industrial production. The sustainable development of economy mainly depends on the innovation and development of industrial technology [ 25 ], the redistribution of production factors and improvement of the use process [ 26 ]. Among them, industrial technology innovation belongs to the vertical development direction, the redistribution and use of production factors belongs to the horizontal integration direction.…”

Research on the Influence Mechanism of Factor Misallocation on the Transformation Efficiency of Resource-Based Cities Based on the Optimization Direction Function Calculation Method

“…Resource-based cities often need to solve these bottlenecks through transformation. Urban transformation involves all aspects of society, people's livelihood, economy and culture [3][4][5][6], and industrial transformation plays a central role in this process [7]. Industrial transformation is not only the change of structure but also the reconfiguration of production factors and the improvement of the use process.…”

Research on Industry Development Path Planning of Resource-Rich Regions in China from the Perspective of “Resources, Assets, Capital”

“…Heuristic algorithm, process control, location quotient analysis, CGE (Computable General Equilibrium), and input-output methods are often used in the optimization of production activities and economic analysis cases in resource-based cities [40][41][42][43][44]. In the middle and late stage of industrial reform of resource-based cities, it is necessary to continuously analyze the information of urban green development and evaluate and improve the degree of urban sustainable development in real time; a TPM (Total Productive Management) system should be built for high-quality economic and social development [45][46][47][48].…”
