An input-output analysis of transportation equipment manufacturing industrial transfer: Evidence from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, China

Although the industrial transfer path is of great significance to the distribution of the industrial relocators and receivers in the process of industrial transfer, how to measure the input-output relationship between industries is still unclear. Based on an adjusted input-output table, this paper attempts to measure the input-output relationship for transport equipment manufacturing industry in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The interregional input-output model was used to realize the calculation of the single department transfer amount. Moreover, combining with the calculation results, the transfer path of the transportation equipment manufacturing was characterized. The results showed that the phenomenon of transfer over space in the transportation equipment manufacturing industry was distinct. The industrial transfer has shifted from the coastal areas to central and western regions. Sixteen provinces, mainly including Inner Mongolia, Henan, Shanxi, etc., had a net outflow of the transportation equipment manufacturing industry. The rest is net inflow provinces. Transportation equipment manufacturing industrial transfer is moving into Beijing and Tianjin. This paper will provide a reference for reasonable and orderly acceptance of industrial transfer from a quantitative perspective.
