The impact of industrial structure on knowledge spillovers——The evidence from Guangdong industry

Abstract

Abstract: Using industrial production panel data of 30 industrial sectors across 21 counties in Guangdong Province from 2000 to 2006, the relation between knowledge spillovers and industrial structure is studied by spatial econometric models. The results show that both MAR spillover effect and Jacobs spillover effect are found in the industries across regions in Guangdong Province. The emerging effect of Porter spillover is consistent with the economic development of the regions. The studied regions are further divided into Pearl River Delta and non-Delta areas. MAR spillover demonstrates the dominant effect in Delta area, while Jacobs spillover is evident in non-Delta area.

Key words: industry, knowledge spillover, panel data, spatial econometric model
