Changes of Xinjiang Industrial Competitiveness and Statistical Test before and after the Implementation of Western China Development Drive Strategy

A comparative analysis and a statistical test on Xinjiang industrial competitive advantages before and after the implementation of the Western China Development Drive Strategy have been made with such methods as the shift-share analysis,locational quotient and variance analysis.The results are as follows.On one hand,the industrial development in Xinjiang has been greatly enhanced by the Strategy.Remarkable success has been achieved in the adjustment of Xinjiang industrial structure,especially in the rapid development of its advantageous industries with unique characteristics,which have reached a considerable scale and formed regional features.On the other hand,many problems such as declining competitiveness still exist in most sectors of Xinjiang industries,and the competitiveness heterogeneity is obvious in different sectors of Xinjiang industries due to the disparity of resources and preferential policies.According to the variant condition,countermeasures to boost Xinjiang industrial competitiveness have been put forward.
