Our purpose in this paper is twofold. First we intend to verify whether the industrial patterns characterising the selected Chinese cities present heterogeneous or homogeneous structures. Secondly, we aim at understanding whether there exists a way to codify effectively such industrial patterns in terms of an interindustry relationship. We also try to provide some insights on the dynamics of the process of industrial convergence observed in China. The paper is structured as follows. After a brief survey of the literature (section 2) and a description of SOM neural networks (section 3), we investigate industrial patterns in Chinese cities (sections 4 and 5). Finally, we discussthe dynamics of convergence in China and draw some conclusive remarks (section 6).

Abstract
Our purpose in this paper is twofold. First we intend to verify whether the industrial patterns characterising the selected Chinese cities present heterogeneous or homogeneous structures. Secondly, we aim at understanding whether there exists a way to codify effectively such industrial patterns in terms of an interindustry relationship. We also try to provide some insights on the dynamics of the process of industrial convergence observed in China. The paper is structured as follows. After a brief survey of the literature (section 2) and a description of SOM neural networks (section 3), we investigate industrial patterns in Chinese cities (sections 4 and 5). Finally, we discussthe dynamics of convergence in China and draw some conclusive remarks (section 6).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
