Overview

Empirical analysis investigates skill endowment and complementarity effects on industrial development, suggesting regional variations.

Key Points

  • Regions with high-skilled labour agglomeration develop new industries more effectively, indicating significant regional variances.
  • Data from 264 prefecture-level cities highlights the influence of skill complementarity on achieving industrial path breakthroughs.
  • The study utilizes a cross-relatedness approach from evolutionary economic geography to assess industry-occupation networks.
  • Industrial path dependence is notably stronger in areas with higher economic complexity, emphasizing the role of skill structure.
