Abstract

With the rapid development of information technology and transportation, will industrial co-agglomeration present spatial spillover effect on the upgrading of global value chain? This paper studies the effect of co-agglomeration of producer services and manufacturing on the upgrading of global value chain, especially its spatial spillover effect. Results show that a significant spatial correlation exists in the upgrading of global value chain in Chinese cities, and the trends of geographical agglomeration and spatial correlation of the function links of global value chain are strengthened. Furthermore, the co-agglomeration of inter industries has a significant spatial spillover effect on the upgrading of global value chain, which shows that the spatial synergy effect of China's urban secondary and tertiary industries is gradually emerging. Moreover, compared with external radiation spillover effect, the local spillover effect is more obvious, which suggests the significance of constructing mechanism of cross regional industrial cooperation. To accelerate the industrial integration and spatial connection, it is necessary to build a new pattern of multipolar network space development, and strengthen the spatial externality of service provision as well as the upgrading of global value chain.
