Abstract

Based on the characteristic facts of the spatial transfer of Chinese manufacturing industry,this paper uses the panel data of prefecture-level and above cities from 2004 to 2018 to systematically investigate the mechanism and effect of manufacturing industry transfer on the local employment in central and western regions. The results find that: 1) The transfer of manufacturing industry has significantly promoted the local employment on the whole,and the conclusion holds robustness tests. 2) The manufacturing industry transfer increases the effective employment by promoting the local industries through industrial agglomeration and correlation effect. The manufacturing industry transfer promotes the investment in environmental pollution control and inhibits the flow-out of labor force and increases the demand for related labor force. 3) The heterogeneity analysis shows that the employment promotion effect generated by the manufacturing industry transfer is more significant in the sample of cities with a distance of 800 km from first-tier cities on the eastern coast and a population size of more than 1 million. 4) From the perspective of industrial linkage effects,the manufacturing industry transfer has a significant effect on employment growth of productive service industries,but has no significant impact on the employment of agriculture,forestry,animal husbandry,fishery and some non-productive service industries. The research conclusion provides important enlightenment for further supporting the orderly transfer and effective undertaking of industries,promoting the guiding role of manufacturing industry transfer on space allocation of labor force,and achieving the goal of "stable employment".

Key words： employment scale; manufacturing industry transfer; undertaking place of industry transfer; labor force; industrial agglomeration; pollution control; stable employment
