Abstract: This paper studies the border effects and sensitivity of the economic output of manufacturing in Jiangsu, China, caused by meteorological and environmental factors. The meteorological data, environmental data and annual manufacturing data of Jiangsu from 1993 to 2011 are used as input for this paper. Based on the Douglas production function and the grey correlation analysis method, this paper discusses the typical relationship among meteorological disaster factors, environmental regulations and the economic output of manufacturing in Jiangsu, China. The empirical analysis shows that the development of typical manufacturing in Jiangsu, China, is influenced by meteorological and environmental factors.
