台湾中南部制造业地理集聚及变化态势分析

On Geographical Agglomeration and Changing Trend of the Manufacturing Industry in Central and Southern Taiwan

本文采用区位熵分析法及偏离份额分析法,从静态和动态双重视角考察台湾中南部地区制造业空间分布及变化态势。区位熵分析结果显示:中南部地区是台湾制造业空间分布的集聚区域,拥有在岛内具备比较优势的制造业行业数量明显超过北部和东部地区,但目前以电子信息产业为代表的技术密集型产业在中南部地区的竞争力依然较弱;偏离份额分析结果显示:台湾中南部地区有一些传统优势产业部门出现衰落的情势,而在一些岛内成长快速的制造业部门仍具较强的竞争优势,与此同时,技术密集型产业在中南部地区的竞争力正逐渐增强。

By using the methods of the location entropy and shift share analyses, this paper makes a careful study on the space distribution of the manufacturing industry in central and southern Taiwan from static and dynamic perspectives. Findings coming from the location entropy analysis show that the south central Taiwan is found to be the regional agglomeration in space distribution of the manufacturing industry in Taiwan with the number of their comparatively advantageous industry being significantly more than that in the northern and southern parts of the island. However, the entropy of the technology intensive industry headed by electronic industry in the south central Taiwan remains still low. On the other hand, the results of the shift share analysis indicate that some traditional advantageous industries in these areas tend to be on the decline while some manufacturing sectors that are developing rapidly in Taiwan still have a strong competitive advantage. At the same time, the technology intensive industry is becoming more competitive in the south central Taiwan.
