Abstract
The degree of coupling and coordination between the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and the medical service industry crucially requires improvement by promoting the development of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry through industrial structure upgrading to narrow the gap between them. First, this article uses the coupling coordination degree model to measure the coupling coordination degree of the Chinese pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and medical service industry; then, it theoretically analyzes the mechanism through which upgrading the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry's industrial structure can improve the coupling coordination degree. Finally, we empirically test the impact of upgrading the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry's industrial structure on the coupling and coordination degree between it and the medical service industry. The main conclusions are as follows: (1). The quantile regression model shows that having an advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing industry positively affects its coupling and coordination with the medical service industry; (2). A threshold regression model is tested, and it is found that only when the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry reaches an advanced level can it significantly promote joint and coordinated development with the medical service industry; (3). Rationalizing the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry structure will inhibit a high level of coordination between it and the medical service industry and their coordinated development.
Highlights
The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and medical service industry are core components of a country’s health industry, and they are “engines” that promote economic growth
According to the medical service industry’s different development levels, we explore the impact of industrial structure advancement and the rationalization index on the degree of coupling coordination
The coefficient of government control for this variable is negative at each quantile level and passes the 1% significance test, which shows that since 2004, government fiscal expenditure has not effectively promoted the coordinated development of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and the medical service industry
Summary
The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and medical service industry are core components of a country’s health industry, and they are “engines” that promote economic growth. To explore the role of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry’s industrial structure upgrade on different stages in the evolution of the coupling coordination degree and the influence of the general conditional distribution law, this paper adopts the quantile regression method It uses the weighted average of the residual’s absolute value as the minimization objective, and the entire condition is distributed. According to the medical service industry’s different development levels, we explore the impact of industrial structure advancement and the rationalization index on the degree of coupling coordination. Based on the theories of the value chain, transaction cost, and social network, the collaborative agglomeration of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and the medical service industry accelerates the flow of production factors, forms economies of scale, accelerates information communication, reduces transaction and production costs, and promotes coordinated and coupled development. This paper takes the panel data of 29 provinces in China from 2004 to 2015 (given the severe lack of data in the Tibet Autonomous Region and Hainan Province, they are not included) as a sample and uses R3.6 software to perform fixed effects, quantile, and Bayes quantiles number regression analysis
