Abstract

The agglomeration of high-tech industrial park is measured by calculating the location entropy and the spatial characters of high-tech industrial park agglomeration are analyzed by examining spatial correlation. The results show that the high-tech industrial park agglomerations in the different areas of China are highly correlated in space and the correlation degree weakens as the distance increases. In order to further explore the influence factors of high-tech industrial park agglomeration formation, the spatial econometric models are built to study the formation mechanism of the agglomeration. Based on the model, the estimation results indicate that traditional economic geography theory is unable to interpret the agglomeration phenomenon of high-tech industry park and the human capital is the most important factor for the agglomeration formation.
