产业集群研究的方法选择与工具应用

产业集群自从20世纪90年代以来一直是经济地理学、空间经济学与区域经济学研究的热点领域,国内外学者针对全球和地方产业集群现象从理论与实证方面进行了大量的深入研究。与以往学者在产业集群的综述研究中只是针对研究内容进行总结归纳不同,文章致力于从产业集群研究过程中的方法选择和工具运用两个新的角度,以产业集群理论的逻辑演化与研究进展为依托,全面系统地对产业集群的研究现状和趋势进行归纳总结,以期能将国内外的相关研究进行分类进而形成一个框架,并希望该研究能给现有的及未来的研究者提供必要的研究思路与启发。

Methodologies and Tools of Industrial Clusters Research

Industrial clusters has been a very hot research field in Economic Geography,Spatial Economics and Regional Economics since 1990s.Scholars from China and other nations in the world have done much research on theory and practice of the industrial clusters.This paper,which is very different from other works in literature whose focus are usually on the contexts of industrial clusters, will give a systematic research from two novel perspectives,research methodologies selection and research tools application,based on the evolution of the industrial clusters theories and its research progress.The main purpose of this paper is to classify these literatures and to form a whole research framework by reviewing the existing research methodologies and tools.We also hope that this study will bring some new thoughts for the current or potential researchers.
