Abstract

Based on regional economic theory, this article explores the relationship between industrial transfer and regional economic growth, focusing on analyzing the mechanism of factor flow (labor, capital, technology) in the process of industrial transfer and its impact on regional economic development. The study combines neoclassical economic growth theory, new economic geography and gradient transfer theory to construct a theoretical framework of industrial transfer and factor flow, and verifies the applicability of the theoretical model through practical cases of industrial transfer in China (such as the transfer of industries from the Pearl River Delta to the central and western regions). The study found that industrial transfer has significantly promoted regional economic growth by optimizing factor allocation, promoting technological spillovers and industrial agglomeration, but it may also exacerbate regional development imbalances. To this end, this article puts forward policy suggestions, including strengthening regional policy coordination, improving labor skill matching, optimizing ecological environment governance, etc., to promote high-quality development of industrial transfer and sustainable growth of regional economy.
