In this paper, we seek to establish ‘sequencing economics’ in an architectural theory on agglomerations that are comprised of various segments, such as infrastructure, institutions and human resources. The sequencing of such segments is based on a causal chain, with the notion of ‘economies of sequence’ regarded as a tool with which to efficiently sequence the segment construction, as defined by Granger causality relationships. The use of ‘new economic geography’ for cases in which such economies of sequence were applied to the information and communication technology (ICT) industry, the paper concludes that as the starting conditions for the sequencing of the segments of the agglomeration, the value of the share of skilled workers exceeds the threshold value at which the symmetric equilibrium shifts to an agglomeration equilibrium. The results of Granger causality testing identified that an increase in research expenses Granger-causes an increase in the number of patents, and an increase in the number of patents Granger-causes an increase in value added. Based on our results, we conclude that when sequencing the segments of an agglomeration in the ICT industry, the development and invitation of researchers is a precondition, and that the procurement of research funds for patent development precedes any increase in patents. Subsequently, the procurement of funds is necessary for the development of products based on the patents.

ICT产业集聚促进经济融合的“排序经济学”

在本文中，我们力求在关于集聚的体系结构理论中建立“排序经济学”，集聚由基础设施，机构和人力资源等各个部分组成。此类片段的排序基于因果链，“序列经济学”的概念被视为一种工具，可根据格兰杰因果关系定义有效地对片段构建进行排序。在将此类顺序经济应用于信息和通信技术（ICT）行业的情况下，使用“新经济地理”，论文得出的结论是，作为对各产业群进行排序的起始条件，熟练工人的比例超过了阈值，在该阈值处，对称平衡转变为集聚平衡。Granger因果关系检验的结果表明，研究费用的增加Granger导致专利数量的增加，而专利数量的增加Granger导致附加值的增加。根据我们的结果，我们得出的结论是，在对ICT行业中的一个产业群进行排序时，研究人员的发展和邀请是前提条件，并且专利开发的研究经费的购买要先于专利的增加。随后，资金的购买对于基于专利的产品开发是必要的。我们得出的结论是，在对ICT行业中的一个群体的各个部分进行排序时，研究人员的发展和邀请是前提，并且为专利开发而购买研究资金必须先于专利的增加。随后，资金的购买对于基于专利的产品开发是必要的。我们得出的结论是，在对ICT行业中的一个群体的各个部分进行排序时，研究人员的发展和邀请是前提，并且为专利开发而购买研究资金必须先于专利的增加。随后，资金的购买对于基于专利的产品开发是必要的。
