本文利用1998-2007年的中国制造业数据，考察了产业集聚对企业出口行为的影响。发现这个时期中国制造业的集聚增加了企业的出口可能性及其出口量，对于效率较高的企业来说促进更大。然而，对企业出口量的影响取决于集聚程度。当集聚程度较低时，集聚程度的增加会扩大企业的出口量；但如果集聚程度原本已经很高，集聚进一步增加将使其对企业出口的促进作用减小甚至反而阻碍企业出口。

Abstract: Using Chinese manufacturing data between 1998 and 2007, this paper investigates the impact of agglomeration on firm’s export behavior. It is found that the agglomeration of manufacturing industries in China over this period increases firm’s export probability as well as its export volume, and the impact is larger for more efficient firms. However, the impact on firm’s export volume depends on the degree of agglomeration. When the degree of agglomeration is low, an increasein agglomeration would expand firm’s export volume but the impact will be diminishing and even turns negative if the degree of agglomeration is already very high.
