Abstract

Electronic machinery manufacturing products have occupied the largest proportion of the intermediate products trade of China, and analyzing the spatial pattern of the export trade network of these products under different trading modes and working procedures can help to know better about the structural features of the export system of China. After differentiating intermediate/final products and general/processing modes, this study focuses on the trans-scale exporting trade networks consist of the export places (on provincial or municipal level) and trading countries of electronic machinery manufacturing products in China during the period of 2002—2016, and discusses how mutli-scale knowledge spillovers generated from global-local interactions (export experiences) and extensions for such spillovers made by evolutionary economic geographers based on technological relatedness (product relatedness) affect firms to enter into such networks to export or existing enterprises to expand advantageous trading partners. The main results are as follows. As for the descriptive aspect, most of the top 10 provinces with more firms and higher export amount locate in the east area and tend to export all of 4 kinds of products to developed countries in Europe or closely-connected domestic regions like Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

Key words

electronic machinery manufacturing products / exporting trade network / intra-product specialization and trade / export experiences / product relatedness
