Introduction
In the past three decades China has experienced the same degree of industrialization that took two centuries to occur in Europe (Summers, 2007). Its rapid industrialization has been accompanied by the emergence of numerous “specialty cities” of a particular kind. Thousands of firms, large and small, each specialized in a finely defined production step, are lumped together in a densely populated region, where some particular manufactured consumer good is churned out in millions (if not billions) annually. Many formerly rural towns in the coastal areas have become so specialized, boasting themselves as the world’s Socks City, Sweater City, Kid’s Clothing City, Footwear Capital, and so on. Despite numerous popular media reports on this phenomena, few studies have rigorously documented these patterns using data covering a large sample and a long period.
Each of the specialty cities we describe above fits Porter’s concept of an industrial cluster, which is “a geographically proximate group of inter-connected companies (and associated institutions) in a particular field” (Porter 1998, Porter 2000). Is increasing clustering part of the general patterns of China’s industrialization and economic growth in the past three decades? We will document the patterns of China’s industrialization by proposing and applying multi-dimensional measures for clustering. We will also provide some preliminary results on how these patterns relate to economic growth in China.
Our paper is unique on several fronts. First, we have access to firm level data in two time periods for China as a whole, which is more disaggregate and updated than previous studies. Second, we have adopted five different measures to capture the evolving patterns of clustering, a key feature of China’s industrialization. Our results suggest that China’s rapid industri
