“…With the large-scale influx of enterprises, the continuous reduction of unemployment rates has also improved the well-being level of the undertaking area. It is worth noting that although the central region increases its investment in innovation every year, innovation has a significant inhibitory effect on the well-being of residents in the central region, which is related both to the quality of patents and the time lag of innovation [ 66 , 67 ]. Utility and highly cited patents in the region only account for a small proportion of the total number of patents.…”

Inter-regional industrial transfers would change the economic, societal, and ecological environment of the undertaking area profoundly. Some experts have recognized the ecological and environmental problems caused by industrial transfers. However, there are few studies on whether undertaking an industrial transfer will ultimately improve the well-being of residents. There is a strong application value for exploring this issue under the domestic cycle in China. This paper uses the shift-share analysis method to measure China’s inter-provincial industrial transfer from 2004 to 2019. According to the subjective and objective indicators, the article measures the level of residents’ well-being. A spatial econometric model is used to empirically test the impact of undertaking transferred industries on residents’ well-being and its mechanism. The results show that: 1. There is a significant spatial positive correlation between the well-being of residents at the national level. The empirical results also indicated significant spatial correlations at the level of the three major economic belts in the east, central, west, and northeast; 2. From the perspective of China as a whole, the inter-regional industrial transfer improved the well-being of the residents significantly, but the indirect negative effect reduced the total effect; 3. From the regional perspective, undertaking a transferred industry could significantly improve the well-being of residents in the central and eastern regions. However, in the northeast and western regions, it showed a serious negative effect. We should enhance the orderly transfer of industries deeply, considering the ecological and environmental capacities of the undertaking area fully and strictly limiting the inter-regional transfer of polluting industries. Only in this way could the government improve the well-being of residents in the industrial transfer-out areas and undertake areas effectively.

The Effect of Marshallian and Jacobian Knowledge Spillovers on Jobs in the Solar, Wind and Energy Efficiency Sector

The purpose of this paper is to establish if Marshallian and Jacobian knowledge spillovers affect job creation in the green energy sector. Whether these two effects exist is important for the number of jobs created in related fields and jobs pushed away in other sectors. In the analysis, the production efficiency, in terms of jobs and job spillovers, from inventions in solar, wind and energy efficiency, is explored through data envelopment analysis (DEA), based on the Malmquist productivity index, and tobit regression. A panel dataset of American and European firms over the period of 2002–2017 is used. The contribution to the literature is to show the role of the spillovers from the same technology sector (Marshallian externalities), and of the spillovers from more diversified activity (Jacobian externalities). Since previous empirical evidence concerning the innovation effects on the production efficiency is yet weak, the paper attempts to bridge this gap. The empirical findings suggest negative Marshallian externalities, while Jacobian externalities have no statistical impact on the job creation process. The findings are of strategic importance for governments who are developing industrial strategies for renewable energy.

Effects of Industrial Policy on Firms’ Innovation Outputs: Evidence From China

2022

In the past two decades, China has implemented various industrial policies involving all aspects of national economic development. At the same time, the number of patent applications in China has rapidly grown to become the largest in the world. Is industrial policy the one force of China’s patent explosion? We investigate the influence of industrial policy on firm innovation outputs using data from the text of Five-Year Plan and Chinese listed firms during 2008 to 2020. Based on the negative binomial regression model, we find that industrial policy has a positive effect on the number of patent applications. Further tests show the varying relationship between industrial policy and firm innovation with industry heterogeneity. We also find that industrial policy increases the number of patent applications by easing financing constraints and strengthening competition. Conclusion of this study provides corresponding theory and decision basis for the implementation of industrial policy in emerging markets.
