Analysis of the Convergence of Manufacturing Industry Structure in the Three Provinces of Northeast China

Abstract

At present, China's economic development is in an important stage of transformation towards high-quality development. Realizing industrial structure adjustment, promoting rational regional industrial layout, and collaborative division of labor play an important role in promoting high-quality economic development. Therefore, conducting research on the convergence of regional industrial structure is of great practical significance for promoting sustainable economic development. This article takes the manufacturing industry in the three northeastern provinces as the research object, and analyzes the problem of industrial structure convergence in the manufacturing industry from multiple perspectives. By measuring the similarity coefficient of industrial structure, location entropy, and regional division of labor index, it was found that the manufacturing industry in the three northeastern provinces of China has intensified industrial homogeneity while the convergence of industrial structure is not obvious. Policy suggestions are proposed to address this phenomenon.
