Article history: Received 30 September 2010 Received in revised form 18 September 2011 Accepted 18 September 2011 Available online 24 September 2011 This paper presents a few stylized facts on the patterns of China's industrialization by computing a set of multi-dimensional measures on industrial concentration, regional specialization, and clustering based on census data at the firm level in 1995 and 2004. Our results show that China's rapid industrialization is characterized by the following patterns: industries have become more spatially concentrated; regions have become increasingly specialized; and firms have become more interconnected, both within industries and within regions. In addition, the number of firms is growing faster in clustered areas than non-clustered ones. Together these patterns suggest that China's industrialization process is largely cluster-based— a phenomenon in which a large number of highly interconnected firms are located within a well-defined geographic region. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.

How industrialization and urbanization process impacts on CO2 emissions in China: Evidence from nonparametric additive regression models
a r t i c l e i n f o This paper examines the impacts of industrialization and urbanization on CO 2 emissions in China using nonparametric additive regression models and provincial panel data from 1990 to 2011. The empirical results show that there is an inverted U-shaped nonlinear relationship between industrialization and CO 2 emissions in the three regions in China. Urbanization follows an i...

Article history: Received 5 August 2009 Available online 23 November 2010 In this paper we apply a model of early industrialization to the case of New Zealand and Uruguay in 1870–1940. We show how differences in agricultural institutions may have produced different development paths in two countries which were similar under many respects. While in New Zealand the active role of the Crown in reg...

Ð Using six case studies from Africa, this paper examines the theoretical argument that geographic and sectoral clustering enables enterprises to overcome constraints to growth and development. Findings were both theoretical and practical. Theoretically, the study underscored the strength of the collective eciency framework, but found that certain anomalies could only be explained by other con...
