Abstract

This study identifies the national benchmark industrial clusters, including both manufacturing and non-manufacturing clusters, using the 2002 national input-output table of China. A set of 22 industrial clusters are derived through combining an algorithm for defining a strength-of-linkage measure for all pairs of input-output sectors with application of a standard clustering algorithm. The national benchmark industrial clusters can be used as cluster templates in subsequent regional analysis. In this study, the template clusters are used to analyze the manufacturing sector of Beijing, and particular attention is focused on the electronic and telecommunication equipment cluster of Beijing. We find that there are three relatively large and highly specialized manufacturing clusters in Beijing, which are electronic and telecommunication equipment cluster, motor vehicles and equipment cluster, and electronic component and device cluster. For the electronic and telecommunication equipment cluster, Beijing is highly specialized in telecommunication equipment production and other electronic and telecommunication equipment production sectors. The spatial analysis shows that the electronic and telecommunication equipment cluster of Beijing is highly concentrated in the suburban area, mostly in Chaoyang, Haidian and Daxing districts.
