Abstract: This paper is based on the center - periphery model, through circulation costs and circulation supply capacity of these two core concepts, the use of comparative static analysis to study the mechanisms of circulation changes in the cost of manufacturing space agglomeration.As a discussion of theory with practice, we used 2004--2013 years of relevant data of China's industrial economy, by analyzing the circulation cost structure, circulation costs were calculated for each region of the dominant and recessive circulation costs.The empirical results show: regional differences in circulation costs are significant, the hidden costs of manufacturing space circulation agglomeration of very significant negative correlation between the circulation costs and manufacturing industry agglomeration.

摘要： 流通成本变动通过什么路径影响制造业的空间集聚，是一个值得深入探讨的理论问题。本文基于中心-外围模型，通过流通成本和流通供给能力这两个核心概念，运用比较静态分析，研究了流通成本变动对制造业空间集聚的作用机制；作为一种理论联系实际的探讨，本文利用2004—2013年中国工业经济的相关数据，通过剖析流通成本的构成，计算了各地区的显性流通成本与隐性流通成本。实证结果显示：各地区流通成本差异显著，隐性流通成本对制造业空间集聚的影响十分显著，流通成本与制造业集聚之间存在负相关。实证分析更进一步的结论是：中国各地区流通成本差异是影响制造业发展的主要因素之一，流通成本的降低，不仅需要提高硬条件，还需要加强软条件。本文针对流通成本变动与制造业空间集聚机制的分析，试图对区域范围内的工业集聚、市场潜力与地区收入差距的研究提供一个分析参照。
