Subregional Asymmetry and Mesoeconomic Modeling of the Evolutionary Dynamics of US Manufacturing Industries Under the Conditions of Reindustrialization

The key element in the modernization of the US economy, which implies re-industrial qualitative development and quantitative growth in industrial production within the country, is the manufacturing industry. The use of evolutionary-genetic, systemic and territorial approaches to the study of American industry as an open meso-level economic system made it possible to identify the dynamics of the US manufacturing industry spatio-temporal development, one of the results of which is subregional asymmetry. Based on traditional methods of economic and statistical analysis and conditional mapping, a holistic “ ‘geographical’ picture” of the asymmetry of the spatial development of the US manufacturing industry according to the characteristic “center-periphery” principle is presented. The use of mathematical modeling techniques made it possible to identify the stages of the studied industries evolutionary development over the past two decades, quantitatively and qualitatively reflecting the essence of the US economy transition from the deindustrial to the initial stage of the reindustrial development paradigm. The results of the study made it possible to fully confirm the hypothesis put forward about the existence of a relationship between the uneven development of US manufacturing industry over time and heterogeneity in the geo-economic space, on the one hand, and their evolutionary dynamics, on the other. In addition, on the basis of mesoeconomic modeling, empirical results were obtained indicating signs of the initial sustainable formation of the re-industrial direction of development of the US industrial mesosystem. Thus, empirical evidence has been obtained that in the advanced economic system of the modern capitalist world, on the wave of an objective change in technological and world economic structures, a steady trend towards Industrialization 4.0 based on NBIC convergence has formed. The conclusion is made not only about the objective process of the need to rely on one’s own resources in the conditions of the world economy deglobalization, but also about the change in the course of the United States national policy in terms of the formation of a competitive basis of the neo-industrial type.
