Abstract

This study examines the occurrence of premature deindustrialization or reindustrialization in latecomer provinces in China, considering that China is a large country that produces manufactured products and has a series of related industrial policy practices. This study adopts the latecomer index to determine the occurrence of premature deindustrialization or reindustrialization, which is expressed by the downward or upward shift in the manufacturing–income relationship at a certain level of income. The results of our empirical analysis confirm the existence of premature deindustrialization in the Western economic zone of China. In the Eastern and Intermediate economic zones, the reindustrialization effect outperforms premature deindustrialization because of China’s globalization and well-intended regional development policies.
