“…To measure the effect of private R&D, we use the aggregated R&D investments made by electronics manufacturing firms in a shequ. Given the fact that 90 per cent of the R&D investments come from private firms in Shenzhen, and public R&D investments are often complementary to private ones (Yi et al, 2011), this proxy for the localised stock of R&D can serve the purpose of our analysis.…”

Science parks (SPs) have received special attention as a policy tool to facilitate localised economic growth by attracting high-tech firms, especially small-and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs). The effectiveness of this strategy has been called into question. Empirical studies suggest that the benefits of SPs for high-tech firms are limited. While this debate is mainly concentrated in the US and Europe, this paper sheds light on the role of SPs in China. It is found that, despite the presence of alternatives, the locations of high-tech SMEs in the region of Shenzhen are determined by hierarchically structured and governed SPs. This finding supports the notion that SPs can play a positive role in attracting high-tech SMEs. Moreover, these effects occur in the relatively unexplored Chinese context of increasingly liberalised but governed market circumstances, where a mature innovation system is still lacking.

“…Especially for the value of exported software products and services, Shanghai accounted for more than a quarter of the software export of China in 2011. Different from the existing literature focusing only on the central area of the city (Han and Qin 2009;Yi, Yang, and Yeh 2011), this article covers the total area of 6,000 km 2 of metropolitan Shanghai, excluding Chongming Island, which has few software firms.…”

“…The TCPA is an area with a net loss, indicating the decline of the dominance of the three central districts in attracting software firms. This is quite different from the relocation pattern of producer service firms in Guangzhou, where firms tend to locate in the downtown areas (Yi, Yang, and Yeh 2011). In contrast, Pudong New District and Minhang District in the ISA and Xuhui District and Putuo District in the ECCA are the main relocation destinations.…”

“…Lin (2004) argued that tertiarization and industrialization occurring side by side is a distinctive characteristic of the Chinese development model. A number of studies have reported that producer services in China are highly concentrated in central business districts (CBDs), emphasizing the significance of government and market (Han and Qin 2009;Bi et al 2011;Yi, Yang, and Yeh 2011). The spatial-temporal pattern and the dynamic process of firms' location and relocation have rarely been investigated.…”

“…Several empirical studies were conducted with the advent of city globalization after the 1990s. For example, scholars studied the decentralization conditions of different service sectors and office space at regional scales [14][15][16][17], and the connection pattern of producer service sectors between different cities [11,12]. In the inner scale of cities, changes in service sectors in different CBDs were discussed [12].…”

Producer service industries are an important feature in the current development of a metropolis. Researchers from different countries are increasingly concerned about location changes and the motives of producer service sectors in cities. Given the rapid development of producer service sectors in developing countries, this study examines changes in the distribution of producer service sectors over the past decade and factors influencing them in a case study using the city of Hangzhou in China. Results show that Hangzhou's producer service sector is still mainly concentrated in the central business district (CBD). However, a distinct trend of diffusion to suburban areas was observed, which formed several secondary clusters on the periphery of the city. Locations of the CBD, sub-centers, and professional clusters of producer service sectors established by the government are the most important factors that affect the spatial distribution of producer service sectors. The main influencing factors for the spatial evolution of producer service sectors are: (1) the high development cost and residential suburbanization of the central areas of the city promote the development of producer service sectors toward the periphery; (2) city planning has guided the clustering of producer service sectors on the city's CBD and secondary city centers; (3) city renewal has provided personalized and diversified development space for producer service sectors; (4) incentive policies introduced by the government, such as rentals, and taxes have enhanced the orderly aggregation of producer service sectors.
