Industrial mobility has a crucial impact on the quality of economic development in a region or even a country. Therefore, governments often utilize industrial mobility to improve the quality of regional economic development, but they frequently face the challenge of accurately controlling the direction of this mobility. Since changes in consumption expectations precede changes in industrial mobility, these expectations can be used to guide industrial mobility. Based on this logic, we propose the policy suggestion in this study: governments can utilize changes in consumption expectations to guide the direction of industrial mobility, thereby improving the quality of economic development.
