Abstract:

Since the 1990s, Taiwan's agricultural investment in mainland China has been rapidly growing, and the spatio-temporal development of Taiwan-funded agriculture industries in the mainland China in context of the different systems across the Taiwan Straits is worth the attention. Based on the path dependence theory and co-evolution theory of evolutionary economic geography, drawing on theories of institutional economic geography and relational economic geography, this paper constructs the analytical framework of the co-evolution of "enterprise-network-system-government", takes the Yongfu high mountain tea industry of The Taiwan Peasant's Innovation Park in Zhangping city as an example, analyzes agglomeration and evolution of Taiwan's agricultural enterprises under the background of different institution in mainland China through field research and in-depth interviews. This study found that the agglomeration and evolution of Taiwan's high mountain tea industry in Yongfu Town can be regarded as the result of path-dependence, which can be divided into three stages: path creation, path development and path locking and unlocking; enterprises, networks, institutions, and governments adapt to each other and co-evolve to continuously promote industrial optimization and upgrading at different stages.

摘要：

20世纪90年代以来，台湾地区对中国大陆的农业投资快速增长，两岸不同制度背景下台资农业在大陆发展的时空过程值得关注。基于演化经济地理学的路径依赖理论和共同演化理论，借鉴制度经济地理学与关系经济地理学的相关理论，构建“企业-网络-制度-政府”共同演化的分析框架，以漳平国家级台湾农民创业园永福高山茶产业为例，通过实地调研和深度访谈，分析台湾农业在大陆不同制度背景下的集聚与演化过程。研究发现：台湾高山茶产业在永福镇的集聚与演化过程可看作是路径依赖的结果，整个过程可以划分为路径创造（1996—2003年）、路径发展（2003—2012年）和路径锁定与解锁（2012年至今）三个阶段；在永福高山茶产业发展的不同阶段，企业、网络、制度和政府相互适应，共同演化，不断推动产业优化升级。
