Abstract

This paper aims to reveal the relationship between intellectual property protection (IPP) and industrial transformation and upgrading (T&U) in southeastern China’s Zhejiang Province. Taking five representative industries as objects, the shift-share analysis was adopted to measure the T&U level of each industry, with the total output in 2004–2019 as the basis. The results show that wholesale and retail, lodging and catering, finance, and real estate are the four advantageous industries. Further, the authors calculated Pearson’s correlation coefficients between IPP intensity and the T&U levels of the four industries. By the coefficients, the four industries can be ranked in descending order as lodging and catering (0.8743), real estate (0.6908), wholesale and retail (0.5891), and finance (0.5468). In addition, the IPP was found to be positively correlated with total manufacturing output (0.8027). Hence, the IPP can significantly promote the development of these five industries.

Highlights

  • China is currently in the midway of industrialization. e transformation and upgrading (T&U) of traditional industries become an important task in the new era. e numerous traditional industries cover a wide range of areas in China and contribute more than 50% of the country’s industrial output, job opportunities, and fiscal revenue [1].ey are the pillars of China’s social and economic development

  • The results show that Zhejiang has maintained a fast development of industries and achieved some effects of industrial T&U

  • Let x and y be the intellectual property protection (IPP) intensity and the T&U level of real estate, respectively. en, the T&U level is the sum of structural shift component and competitiveness shift component: y P5 + D5
