Abstract

To achieve high-quality development, China needs to continue to optimize and upgrade its industrial structure in light of actual factors and effectively release its hidden growth potential. This paper takes 31 provinces and cities in China as cases and adopts the extended NCA and fsQCA methods to investigate the configuration and paths that affect the upgrading of regional industrial structure. The findings show: First, none of the contributing factors to industrial structure optimizing and upgrading can, in isolation, serve as a necessary condition for achieving such advancement. Second, enhancing the structure of human capital and the level of intellectual property is of great significance. Third, each region should combine its own characteristics and adapt its measures to local conditions.
