Digital economy,industrial structure upgrading and green transformation of logistics industry
Based on the provincial balance panel data of China from 2006 to 2021,this paper uses Super-SBM to measure the green transformation level(Lgtfp)of logistics industry,and analyzes the digital economy development index of each province and city with the help of entropy,and examines the direct,intermediate and spatial effects of digital economy on Lgtfp.It is found that the regional digital economy level has a significant positive effect on Lgtfp,and the digital economy infrastructure construction,industrial digitalization and digital economy development environment have a particularly significant promoting effect on Lgtfp.Compared with the central and western regions,the promotion of Lgtfp in the eastern region is more influenced by the digital economy.As far as the influence mechanism is concerned,the upgrading of logistics industrial structure plays a positive intermediary effect;Further spatial econometric analysis shows that the digital economy has a significant positive spatial spillover effect on Lgtfp,which will not only promote the increase of Lgtfp in the region,but also contribute to the increase of Lgtfp in neighboring regions.The research provides policy reference for promoting the development of digital economy and promoting the green transformation of logistics industry.
