Research on the Cross-regional Impact of FDI on the Upgrading of Industrial Structure Based on the Regulatory Effect of Industry Competition Intensity

摘要

Under the background of all-round opening-up, this paper studies the influence mechanism of FDI on the upgrading of industrial structure and whether FDI affects the formation of industrial structure upgrading. Firstly, this study select the data of the country and three major economic regions as samples, which is based on a benchmark model, an effect adjustment model and an interactive cross-regional model; secondly, with the analysis of the data based on the above-mentioned models, the corresponding results are obtained: FDI promotes the industrial structure upgrade in China and the three major economic zones. Meanwhile, the industry competition caused by FDI exerts a significant influence in promoting the upgrading of the industrial structure. After research of the interactive cross-regional mechanism, it is concluded that there is a unilateral cross-regional influence between eastern region and central as well as western regions, and there is a bilateral cross-regional influence between central and western regions. In the end, based on the above results, this paper proposed development strategies and methods related to China’s rational use of FDI and optimization of industrial structure upgrading.
