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.
