[Abstract] Automotive industry is talent-intensive, for which strong mutual influence between industrial agglomeration and talent agglomeration is expected. Structural equation model is established based on the analysis of automotive industrial agglomeration and talent agglomeration endogenous measurable indicators. The correlation between automotive industrial agglomeration and talent agglomeration is analyzed using the data of China's 28 provincial-level administrative units over the recent 5 years. The study suggests that automotive industry agglomeration and talent agglomeration both pose positive effects on each other, and the influence of the former on the latter is greater than the latter on the former. Based on our analysis, we recommend that talent agglomeration should be promoted through multiple ways to realize industrial agglomeration.

[Key words] Automotive industry, Industrial agglomeration, Structural equation method, Talents agglomeration
