能源产业集聚对经济增长的影响研究——基于“一带一路”沿线西部9省区的实证分析

Research on the Influence of Energy Industry Agglomeration on Economic Growth:Based on the Empirical Analysis of Nine Western Provinces along“the Belt and Road”

本文从产业集聚的视角出发,采用区位熵测算了2003年至2016年“一带一路”沿线西部9省区能源产业的集聚度水平,以此说明西部9省区能源产业的发展状况。在此基础上,进一步分析能源产业集聚对地区经济增长的影响。研究发现,整体来看,西北5省区的能源产业普遍形成了产业集聚,而西南4省区的能源产业则没有形成产业集聚。对能源产业集聚对地区经济增长的影响进行理论和实证分析后发现,无论是将西部9省区作为整体分析,还是按地区分组后的分析均表明,能源产业集聚对地区经济增长具有负向影响。这主要是因为能源产业集聚“挤出”了创新,减缓了技术进步,最终阻碍了地区经济增长。

From the perspective of industrial agglomeration,this paper uses location entropy to measure the level of energy industry agglomeration in the nine western provinces and regions along“the Belt and Road”from 2003 to 2016 in order to illustrate the development of the energy industry in the nine western provinces and regions.On this basis,further analysis is made on the influence of energy industry agglomeration on regional economic growth.The study finds that,on the whole,the energy industry in the five northwestern provinces has generally formed industrial agglomeration,while the energy industry in the four southwestern provinces has not.After theoretical and empirical analysis of the influence of energy industry agglomeration on regional economic growth,it is found that both the overall analysis of the nine western provinces and the regional grouping analysis show that energy industry agglomeration has a negative impact on regional economic growth.This is mainly because the agglomeration of the energy industry“squeezes out”innovation,slows down technological progress and ultimately hinders regional economic growth.
