Abstract

This study calculates agglomeration indices of manufacturing specialization and diversification in different regions of South Korea. Two types of agglomeration indices are introduced into the spatial durbin model (SDM) to analyzes the effects of manufacturing agglomeration in Korea on CO2 emission intensity. The subjects of this study are 17 regions of South Korea , and the research period is from 2013 to 2019. This study also uses partial differential to analyze the direct and spillover effect of specialization and diversification agglomeration on CO2 emission intensity. From the perspective of direct effect, the results reveal that specialization agglomeration is an important factor contributing to Korea's CO2 emissions. However, diversification agglomeration has an obvious CO2 emission reduction effect. From the perspective of spillover effect, this study finds that specialization agglomeration in one region can also contribute to CO2 emissions in nearby regions. However, the development of diversification agglomeration in one region can have CO2 emission reduction spillover effect on neighboring regions.
