    Green manufacturing is an important part of ecological civilization construction and industrial transformation and upgrading. Realizing green transformation of enterprises from the perspective of green manufacturing construction is crucial to the high-quality development of Chinese enterprises. Based on the data of China's A-share listed firms from 2012~2023, a staggered DID model is used to empirically test the impact of green factory ratings on corporate ESG performance. The study finds that the certification of green manufacturing, represented by green factory ratings, is beneficial to the ESG performance of firms. Mechanism analysis shows that the green factory can promote corporate ESG performance through two channels: accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation of enterprises and alleviating corporate financing constraints. Heterogeneity analysis finds that the impact effect of green factory certification is stronger in enterprises with higher media attention, non-heavily polluting industries, and the eastern region. In addition, the green factory certification policy can improve the economic performance of enterprises and realize emission reduction and efficiency. Moreover, there is a spillover effect on upstream and downstream enterprises, which plays the role of a model enterprise as a benchmark. The study provides important policy references on how companies can achieve green and sustai-nable development.

    Abstract (198) RichHTML (98) PDF (4762)

    In the wave of the digital economy, enterprise digital transformation, serving as an excellent booster for the digi-tal economy, provides new pathways for enhancing the resilience of industrial chains.This paper analyzes the connotation of indust-rial chain resilience from the perspective of the general characteristics of industrial chain networks.It posits that industrial chain resi-lience can be decomposed into two dimensions: the resilience of industrial chain network nodes and the resilience of industrial chain network structure.Utilizing data from A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2022, this study verifies the impact and mechanism of enterprise digital transformation on industrial chain resilience.The research finds that enterprise digital transformation significantly enhances industrial chain resilience.This enhancement primarily occurs through two mechanisms: reducing internal agency and production costs to strengthen industrial chain network nodes, and reducing external transaction costs to optimize the industrial chain network structure.Further research reveals that the presence of state-owned enterprises and technology-intensive enterprises amplifies the reinforcing effect of enterprise digital transformation on industrial chain resilience, while the presence of labor-intensive enterprises suppresses this reinforcing effect.This paper elucidates the intrinsic micro-mechanism of how enterprise digital transformation reinforces industrial chain resilience, providing a theoretical foundation and policy implications for promoting the digitalization of industrial chains to enhance their resilience and security.

    As a strategic technology driving the new wave of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence(AI) plays a significant role in enhancing the total factor productivity(TFP) of enterprises. Based on the theories of regional innovation systems and endogenous growth, this study uses panel data from companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares between 2016 and 2024 to examine the impact of AI innovation development pilot zone policies on improving enterprise TFP. The results demonstrate that this policy significantly boosts corporate TFP, and these results remain robust after a series of robustness tests. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the policy has a stronger effect in the central and western regions and for non-high-tech industries. Further analysis indicates that the policy influences TFP through two channels: deepening the application of AI and improving resource allocation efficiency. The policy not only enhances enterprise TFP but also strengthens profita-bility. This study provides empirical evidence for the role of the AI Innovation Pilot Zone policy in fostering corporate TFP growth and offers important policy implications for improving enterprise productivity.

    Abstract (202) RichHTML (146) PDF (4291)

    In the context of increasing global changes in supply chain uncertainty, how to build resilient supply chains through digital transformation and drive total factor productivity growth has become a theoretical gap and policy proposition that urgently needs to beovercome in the digital economy era. This article takes A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2012 to 2024 as the research object, and deeply explores the impact path of digital transformation on the total factor productivity of enterprises. The mechanism test finds that digital transformation promotes the improvement of total factor productivity of enterprises by reducing the risk level of supply chain interruption. Heterogeneity testing finds that digital transformation has a more prominent effect on improving the total factor productivity of enterprises in areas with state-owned nature, high financing constraints, low supply chain discourse power, low supply chain efficiency, high digital infrastructure, and high government digital attention. This study focuses on the supply chain perspective, providing empirical evidence for enterprises toexplore effective strategies for digital transformation, as well as practical policy references for stimulating new drivers of economic growth and achieving high-quality economic development goals.

    Abstract (360) RichHTML (268) PDF (3973)

    This paper selects data from Chinese A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2023 and uses the difference-in-differences model to investigate whether the green credit policy will have an incentive effect or a crowding-out effect on the green innovation of heavily polluting enterprises. The study finds that the implementation of the green credit policy has promoted the green innovation of heavily polluting enterprises, and the green innovation induced by this policy is an incentive effect superimposed on existing innovation activities and has not crowded out other technological innovations. Mechanism analysis shows that the implementation of the green credit policy can promote the green innovation of heavily polluting enterprises by strengthening the green cognition of senior executives. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the green innovation of heavily polluting enterprises is more obvious in the western regions, areas with strong environmental regulations, and highly competitive industries. This paper expands the research perspective on the impact of green credit policies on corporate green innovation and provides valuable policy inspiration for promoting the green transformation of the economy.

    Abstract (258) RichHTML (182) PDF (3799)

    Based on the digital input information of listed companies from 2015 to 2022, this article empirically tests the impact of digital transformation on total factor productivity. Research has found that the impact of digital transformation on total factor productivity has a time lag, and the positive effects of digital transformation gradually emerge and strengthen over time. Specifically, digital transformation in production and management has a positive impact on improving productivity, while digital transformation in user and technology has not yet empowered enterprise efficiency. Channel mechanism testing shows that digital transformation has increased total factor productivity by driving enterprise innovation, improving operational models, and reducing agency costs. The heterogeneity analysis results show that the positive effects of digital transformation are more significant for enterprises with better human capital structure, greater emphasis on collaborative and creative culture, and relatively smaller organizational inertia.

    Supply chain security and stability is an important prerequisite for coping with uncertainty risk and realizing the smooth flow of the"double cycle", and the existing literature mostly examines the impact of supply chain risk from the perspective of supply chain relationship changes. In this study, we use the data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2024 to exa-mine the impact of supply chain risk on their innovation quality from the perspectives of supply chain risk exposure and risk perception. It is found that supply chain risk exposure increases firms' innovation quality, while risk perception decreases firms' innovation quality. Mechanism analysis shows that risk exposure improves innovation quality through supply chain restructuring and digital empowerment, while risk perception reduces innovation quality through financing constraints and resource crowding out effects, which are mainly found in firms with high supply chain concentration, technology-intensive industries, and regions with high marketisation levels. Further, supply chain risk exposure and risk perception interact with each other to drive firms' innovation quality. The study is useful for coping with domestic and international uncertainty risks, building secure and stable supply chain relationships, and promoting corporate innovation.

    Promoting supply chain digitization is one of the core paths for the deep integration and development of the real economy and digital economy, and it is also an important lever for driving sustainable development of enterprises at present. This article is based on micro panel data of listed companies, systematically exploring the impact mechanism of supply chain digitization on the sustainable development performance of enterprises. The research found that: firstly, the benchmark regression results confirmed that supply chain digitization has a significant positive promoting effect on the sustainable development performance of enterprises, and this conclusion still holds true after robustness testing; Secondly, innovation investment plays an intermediary role between the two, and supply chain digitization can indirectly empower sustainable development of enterprises by increasing the intensity of research and development investment. Thirdly, heterogeneity analysis shows that this impact exhibits regional and firm differentiation characteristics, with more significant positive effects observed in enterprises in the eastern region, as well as in state-owned and private enterprises. This study is helpful for enterprises to accurately promote the digital transformation of their supply chain, enhance their sustainable development capabilities, and provide empirical reference for the government to formulate differentiated support policies.

    The digital transformation of enterprises can help reduce market transaction costs, improve the level of specialization, and improve their Total Factor Productivity (TFP). An empirical analysis based on the data of A-share manufacturing listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2010 to 2023 shows that: (1)The digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises can improve their TFP, which is still true after a series of robustness tests; (2)The specialization has a significant mediation effect and a double threshold effect, and when the level of specialization crosses the high threshold, the TFP improvement effect of digital transformation is greater, but this effect is not obvious when it is below the low threshold. (3)There is a significant spatial spillover effect of digital transformation on TFP, and the specialization has a significant spatial mediating effect. (4)Large enterprises, high-tech enterprises, enterprises in eastern China and enterprises in the National Big Data Comprehensive Pilot Zone have a greater increase in TFP from digital transformation. In order to enhance the TFP improvement effect of the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, it is necessary to strengthen the policy support system and capacity building for the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, and implement differentiated digital transformation strategies.

    Enterprise digital transformation is an important link to implement the digital economy strategy and promote the integrated development of the digital economy and the real economy. This paper focuses on the transmission mode of government digital attention-enterprise digital transformation, and empirically tests the influence and mechanism of government digital attention on enterprise digital transformation. Based on the data of China's Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2023, the study found that the government's digital attention significantly promoted the digital transformation of enterprises, and the above effect was more obvious when state-owned enterprises, small-scale enterprises, and regional digital infrastructure were better. The effect of government digital attention on enterprise digital transformation mainly plays a role through two transmission paths of government and enterprise. On the one hand, government digital attention improves digital subsidies; on the other hand, it plays a role in the peer effect among enterprises, that is, the imitation learning behavior that promotes enterprise digital transformation. The research conclusions are of great significance for enriching relevant researches on enterprise digital transformation and exploring how to give full play to the effectiveness of policies to solve the dilemma of enterprise digital transformation.

    Government subsidies are an important means to support and guide the development of enterprises. Under the current backdrop of vigorously promoting high-quality development, whether government subsidies can achieve the expected effect and help enterprises enhance their new quality and productivity has become a focus of concern for both the academic community and go-vernment departments. This paper empirically examines the impact of government subsidies on the new quality productivity of enterprises by using the data of A-share listed companies from 2015 to 2024, and further examines the influence of enterprise strategic choices on the relationship between the two. The research findings show that: (1) There exists an inverted U-shaped nonlinear relationship between government subsidies and the new quality productivity of enterprises. This conclusion still holds true after a series of robustness tests. (2) Different strategic choices made by enterprises will also affect the effectiveness of government subsidies. Adopting differentiated strategies and cost leadership strategies will both mitigate the negative impacts brought about by excessive subsidies. Further analysis shows that moderate government subsidies and enterprise financialization can achieve internal and external synergy, jointly promoting the improvement of new quality productivity of enterprises. Conversely, it will accelerate the deterioration of the subsidy effect. The research conclusion of this paper has reference significance for how to enhance the expected effect of government subsidies and promote the improvement of new quality productivity of enterprises.

    Open government data is a crucial measure in advancing the Digital China strategy and the construction of a digital government. Based on panel data of 284 cities in China, taking the launch of open government data platforms as a quasi natural experiment, this paper builds a difference-in-differences model to evaluate the impact of open government data on urban innovation. The research finds that, first, open government data has a significant effect on the level of urban innovation. Second, mechanism analysis suggests that open government data promote urban innovation through three aspects: attracting scientific and technology ta-lents to enrich the supply of innovation resources, inspiring entrepreneurial vitality to expand the scope of innovation subjects, and optimizing business environment to improve innovation environment. Third, heterogeneity analysis shows that the digital policy environment, digital financial environment, and digital infrastructure strengthen the role of open government data in promoting urban innovation. Fourth, expansion analysis shows that open data quality and platform construction quality have a positive impact on urban innovation. Based on this, the government should actively build open government data platform, pay attention to the heterogeneous impact of open government data on different regions, in order to better unleash the dividends of open sharing of data elements.

    This paper empirically examines the impact of corporate supply chain concentration on default risk using listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2011 to 2021 as the research sample.It is found that there is a significant positive correlation between supply chain concentration and corporate default risk, i.e., the higher the supplier concentration and customer concentration of a firm, the higher the expected default probability.It is further found that financing constraints have a negative mode-rating role in the positive relationship between supply chain concentration and corporate default risk, while institutional investors' shareholding ratio plays a positive moderating role in the positive relationship between the two.Mechanism analysis reveals that innovation investment and firm performance play a mediating role in the relationship between supply chain concentration and firm default risk, and that higher supply chain concentration reduces firms' innovation investment and performance levels, thus increasing the expected default probability of firms.The findings of this paper enrich the research connotation of the economic consequences of corporate supply chain concentration and the influencing factors of default risk, and provide useful reference for enterprises to reduce default risk by adjusting supply chain concentration.

    Under the wise leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as its core, the development of AI industry, and the R & D and application of large language models in China have been in the first echelon in the world.In August 2025, the State Council's Opinions on the In-depth Implementation of the Artificial Intelligence Plus Action drew a grand blueprint for further promoting the extensive and deep integration of artificial intelligence with various sectors of the economy and society.The vigorous development of intelligent economy is inseparable from the rapid progress of intelligent technology, critically, it also requires enterprises to renew their organizations and adjust strategies to grasp new opportunities and tap into new potential.However, the intelligent economy with unlimited potential also contains greater technological and social risks, such as data security, unemployment of vulnerable workers and so on.Therefore, the society should actively foresee all kinds of risks and formulate countermeasures to promote the stable and healthy development of AI economy.

    Based on the panel data of 286 Chinese cities from 2011 to 2022, from the perspective of innovation and entrepreneurship, this paper uses fixed effect model, mediating effect model, moderating effect model and spatial econometric model to exa-mine the influence of innovation policy and digital economy on high-quality development and its mechanism in multiple dimensions.It is found that digital economy and innovation policy can significantly promote high-quality urban development, and this result remains robust under various tests such as considering endogenous problems and controlling fixed effects.Mechanism test shows that there is a significant positive interaction effect between innovation policy and digital economy on high-quality development, which can promote the high-quality development of cities by improving the activity of innovation and entrepreneurship.Heterogeneity analysis finds that the interactive effect of innovation policy and digital economy is mainly manifested in large-scale cities and high innovation and entrepreneurship vitality, and it is easier to promote the high-quality development of cities in eastern and central regions.The spatial effect study shows that the implementation of innovation policy and the development of digital economy have significant spatial spillover effects, which can significantly improve the high-quality development level of surrounding cities.The research can provide enlightenment for optimizing China's innovation policy system, giving full play to the empowering role of the digital economy, and realizing innovation-driven high-quality development.

    Given the practical needs of advancing the "dual-carbon" strategy and green supply chain collaboration, studying how green finance development addresses supply chain carbon reduction dilemmas through transmission mechanisms is significant. Based on resource orchestration theory, using 2010-2023 A-share listed company data, this paper explores green finance's essential impact on supply chain carbon reduction via the "structuring, capability-building, value-creation" process of inter-organizational resource redistribution. Findings show green finance significantly boosts supply chain carbon reduction, with stronger effects on upstream than downstream enterprises. Mechanism tests reveal a chain mediation path: "green finance development-eased financing constraints-digital transformation-supply chain carbon reduction". Heterogeneity analysis indicates state-owned enterprises and those with low customer dependence better utilize green financial resources for supply chain emission reduction. This study clarifies inter-organizational collaborative reduction mechanisms of green finance at the supply chain level, offering theoretical and practical support for optimizing green finance and strengthening low-carbon supply chains.

    The transformation of urban digital intelligence is gradually promoted under the development of artificial intelligence, and plays a role in enabling the high-quality development of economic society and enterprises.Based on this, taking the national new generation of artificial intelligence innovation and development pilot zone as an exogenous impact, this paper explores the effect of urban digital intelligent transformation on enterprise labor income distribution by constructing a differential model.The results show that compared with non-pilot cities, the labor income share of enterprises in pilot cities has increased significantly.Heterogeneity analysis shows that the increasing effect of the establishment of pilot zones on the labor income share of enterprises is more obvious in state-owned enterprises, capital-intensive enterprises, enterprises with high bargaining power of employees, eas-tern and central regions and enterprises with low marketization level.According to the mechanism analysis, urban digital intelligent transformation can increase the cash abundance of enterprises, improve the level of human capital of enterprises, and then increase the share of labor income.Further analysis shows that the establishment of pilot zones can improve the income inequality within enterprises, especially in areas with large labor mismatch.This paper enriches the research on the economic consequences of artificial intelligence pilot zones, and provides policy implications for promoting the implementation and development of artificial intelligence and increasing the share of labor income.

    Focusing on the artificial intelligence industry, we constructed an indicator system for the integration of innovation chain, industry chain, and talent chain (hereinafter referred to as the "three chains"), and explored the spatiotemporal characteristics of the integration of artificial intelligence "three chains" in 281 prefecture level and above cities in China from 2014 to 2022, as well as the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of different influencing factors. Research has shown that: (1) the level of integration of urban artificial intelligence in the "three chains" exhibits significant temporal growth and spatial differentiation characteristics of "high in the east and low in the west".(2) The integration of the "three chains" of artificial intelligence has significant spatial positive correlation, and spatial heterogeneity continues to increase. High high agglomeration cities are expanding towards the eastern metropolitan area, forming a core periphery gradient pattern and multipolar differentiation trend. Low low agglomeration is mainly distributed in western and northeastern cities, and the overall level of urban integration is improving while structural differentiation coexists. However, there are still relatively few cities with high levels of integration.(3) The impact of urban economic deve-lopment, employment density, and commercial credit environment shows a significant gradient pattern of high in the east and low in the west. The impact of financial development exhibits coastal polarization characteristics. Digital infrastructure and government technology support have formed a spatial pattern of "digital divide" and imbalanced policy resource allocation, respectively.

    Since 2018, the United States has actively pushed for technological decoupling from China to maintain its dominant position in science and technology, which is bound to have profound impacts on the economy and trade of both China and the United States, as well as other countries around the world.As the degree of technological decoupling between China and the United States deepens, the GDP, investment, and welfare levels of both countries decline significantly, but the decline in the United States is more obvious.At the same time, the total trade volume between the two countries sharply decreases, and the country of origin and industrial structure of imports and exports show diverse changes.In contrast, the GDP, investment, and welfare levels of other countries or regions around the world improve slightly in the scenario of technological decoupling, and their trade volume expands.Except for high-tech industries, the export of other industries is severely damaged, but the import is significantly improved.In this regard, China should manage differences through negotiation and expand the space for science and technology coo-peration between the two countries.At the same time, China should deepen its opening-up and open up new channels for technological exchanges on this basis.In addition, China should increase its efforts in independent innovation and cultivate new quality productivity to achieve the autonomous and controllable industrial supply chain.
