Abstract：It is great practical significance to build a new development paradigm that focuses on domestic cycle and features positive interplay between domestic and international engagements by exploring how leading-chain-enterprises influence the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry chain. This paper uses the panel data of China’s manufacturing enterprises from 2003 to 2013 to study the impact of leading-chain-enterprises on the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry chain. Firstly，measure two micro indicators of the length of enterprises’domestic value chain and the upstream degree of enterprises’global value chain to characterize the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry chain. Secondly，quantitatively identify leading-chain-enterprises through four steps of marking publicized leading-chain-enterprises，ranking publicized leading-chain-enterprises，building generality threshold indicators，and identifying national leading-chain-enterprises. Thirdly，build the matrix of leading-chain-enterprises number，the matrix of industry input-output coefficient and the matrix of leading-chain-enterprises asset proportion to quantitatively measure the influence of leading-chain-enterprises. Finally，clarify the impact effect，action mechanism and heterogeneity characteristic of leading-chain-enterprises‘ impact on the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry chain through the combination of theoretical analysis and empirical verification.
The main conclusions are as follows：The benchmark regression result shows that leading-chain-enterprises can significantly promote the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry chain；The test result of action mechanism shows that leading-chain-enterprises can promote the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry chain by improving the total factor productivity of member enterprises；Heterogeneity analysis shows that specialization externality and diversification externality can strengthen the promotion role of leading-chain-enterprises to the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry chain，while Porter externality shows a restraining effect；In capital-intensive industries，technology-intensive industries，inland areas and“the Belt and Road”areas，leading-chain-enterprises have more impetus to the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry chain.
Based on the above research results，in order to cultivate leading-chain-enterprises and exert their influence to promote the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry chain，the following suggestions are proposed：Firstly，local governments should strengthen their emphasis on promoting the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry chain by leading-chain-enterprises，introduce a policy system for cultivating and developing leading-chain-enterprises with local characteristics，establishe a sound market supervision system，and createa good business environment；Secondly，adhere to the‘Reform and Opening-Up’，give full play to the influence of leading-chain-enterprises to build a manufacturing industry chain ecosystem centered on leading-chain-enterprises and with the collaborative participation of member enterprises；Thirdly，deepen the supply side structural reform of the manufacturing industry，strengthen the role of the coastal economic circle in radiating inland areas，and implement the“Belt and Road”initiative. Finally，form a new development paradigm that focuses on domestic cycle and features positive interplay between domestic and international engagements.
In summary，based on existing research results，this paper proposes a method for quantitatively identifying leadingchain-enterprises and quantitatively measuring influence of leading-chain-enterprises，expands the research boundary of leading-chain-enterprises’impact on the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry chain. These not only have certain reference value for subsequent related research，but also have certain practical significance for exerting the influence of leading-chain-enterprises and promoting the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry chain.
