The Regional Specialization of Service Sector in China- From 1993 to 2006
Using the Krugman index, we calculate the regional specialization of 29 provinces service sector in China. Further, we analyze some specific industries of the service sector through the location quotient. Then we compare the degree of specialization between each other of 10 provinces. The main conclusions of this paper are: Firstly, the average specialization of service sector is lower than manufacture sector because of the specific characteristics of service industry; Secondly, the specialization degree of service industry in China has been descending then increasing since 1990; Thirdly, metropolitan areas have remarkable advantages in the developing of producer service industry and knowledge intensive service industry.
