Analysis of Industrial Structural Change and Structural Effect——Taking Ningxia Autonomous Region for Example
[an error occurred while processing this directive]
Abstract In the process of industrialization，structural change due to reallocation of resources factor is an important factor of aggregate growth. So it is of great significance to define the type of industry according to factor intensity and research industrial structure effect. Based on the data of the industries of Ningxia Autonomous Region from1997 to 2008，by decomposing the growth in industrial labour productivity, capital productivity and total factor productivity，the authors found that the growth of productivity is largely dominated by the growth effect within the industry. Though structural shift effect plays some part in productivity growth，it is not so apparent，even taking on a gradually downward trend. It is noticable that different decomposition effects make different contributions to productivity growth of various types of industries and the contributions of different types of industries to aggregate productivity growth are also obviously different. Labour intensive industries and capital intensive industries play the major role in the growth of the total industrial labour productivity and capital productivity，but the growth in total factor productivity is mainly from labour intensive industries and capital-and-technology intensive industries.
