Impact of industrial relatedness on manufacturing structural change: a panel data analysis for Chinese provinces

Sažetak
A large body of literature has explored the determinants of manufacturing
structural change, but little has highlighted industrial
relatedness. This study probes the impact of technological and
vertical relatedness on manufacturing structural rationalisation
and advancement by constructing a panel data model with province
and year fixed effects using data of 30 Chinese provinces
from 2000 to 2019. The empirical results show that manufacturing
structural change differs based on industrial relatedness.
Specifically, at the national level, technological relatedness can
promote both structural rationalisation and advancement within
manufacturing. Vertical relatedness holds a negative effect on
structural rationalisation and no significant effect on structural
advancement. Besides, the effects of industrial relatedness exhibit
regional heterogeneity. In coastal China, technological relatedness
can still promote structural rationalisation and advancement.
Vertical relatedness has no significant effect on structural rationalisation
and a negative effect on structural advancement. In inland
China, governmental supports help break the dependency of
regional manufacturing structural change on industrial relatedness,
and the establishment of development zones restrains structural
rationalisation within manufacturing. This study offers
insights for policymakers to adopt different approaches to support
local manufacturing development, depending on the characteristics
of regional manufacturing structural evolution.
