ABSTRACT
This study constructs an industrial linkage network of China and investigates industries’ radiation dynamics. This is achieved by detecting the causation between industries, using a novel multi-spatial convergent cross-mapping approach. The main findings include: (i) during the years from 2000 to 2017, influential industries were time-varying. (ii) The overall radiation intensity of real estate was outstanding. (iii) The influence of manufacturing (the secondary industry), and finance and catering (the tertiary industry) was increasing, while the influence of the primary industry was declining. This article contributes to interpreting China’s economic changes from the perspective of inter-industry correlation, rather than industrial scale. The results also reveal evidence of China’s industrial structure upgrading.
