ABSTRACT

Logistics infrastructure is the foundation to guarantee the social activities of manufacturing enterprises. This paper collects and collates the panel data of 11 provinces and municipalities in eastern China from 2010 to 2019, selects the comprehensive road network density of roads and railways as the proxy variable of land transportation logistics infrastructure, uses location entropy to represent the degree of manufacturing agglomeration, applies the frontier econometric analysis method, establishes the threshold panel model, empirically tests the theory, and tests the spatial nonlinear economic impact of logistics infrastructure on manufacturing agglomeration. This paper draws the following conclusions: under the condition that the comprehensive road network density of logistics infrastructure is the threshold variable, the impact of logistics infrastructure on manufacturing agglomeration is non-linear, and the specific performance is the "inverted U" relationship of first strong and then weak. Consumption level, urbanization development level and opening degree promote manufacturing agglomeration. Labor cost, economic development level and government intervention negatively affect manufacturing agglomeration in the eastern region in order to guide the manufacturing enterprises to rationally distribute in space, to further guide the industrial clusters, to optimize the allocation of resources, and to provide a certain reference for the formulation of government policies and systems.
