Abstract

Using panel data from a sample covering 30 industrial sectors in 29 Chinese provinces (excluding Tibet) over the 1988 to 1997 period, this paper highlights the relation between regional industrial structure and performance distribution in terms of growth. The influence of two types of variables is examined along with traditional production factors: industrial structure (degree of specialization, diversity in the industrial environment and plant size) and the level of initial regional development. Our findings show that the diversity of the industrial environment has a positive impact on local growth, while specialization has a negative one, in a stage of high development and of a widening of regional inequalities to the benefit of coastal regions. Nevertheless, different growth impulses appear according to the sectors under consideration and their location.
