The Influence of the Circulation Industry’s Development in China——Based on the Scale of Circulation Industry and the Difference of Urban and Rural Structure

Abstract

The impact of the circulation industry on the upgrading of industrial structure can be considered from many levels. In this paper, we try to confirm the impact of circulation industry in China's three major areas to the industrial upgrading from three dimensions: the scale of the production-type circulation industry, the scale of the consumption-type circulation industry and the development of the gap between the urban and rural areas. In order to research the relationship, two groups of panal data which range in 1995-2008 and 2004-2015 time zones in 31 provinces and cities in China are selected, and the fixed effect model is used by STATA 12.0 software. Combined with the conclusions and regional economic characteristics, different policy recommendations are provided in the end.
