The Impact of Industrial Agglomeration on Supply Chain Efficiency in Manufacturing

Abstract

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that China's high-quality economic development needed to improve the stability and resilience of the supply chain. And the improvement of manufacturing supply chain efficiency affected markedly on this. Firstly, this paper quantified the supply chain efficiency by using the three-stage DEA model, and established an evaluation system of digital capability from the perspective of green economy. Secondly, the bidirectional fixed effect model was used to further analyze the influence of specialized agglomeration, diversified agglomeration on supply chain efficiency and the moderating effect of digital capability. Based on the above, the conclusion was drawn specialized agglomeration and diversified agglomeration affected positively on manufacturing supply chain efficiency, and digital capability moderated them positively. Then, the result of the robustness analysis showed the model is robust. Finally, this paper put forward suggestions from the aspects of government and enterprise, advocating the development of specialized agglomeration, diversified agglomseration and digital capability.
