Does the Digital Economy Promote the Reverse Green Technology Spillover from the Technology-seeking OFDI?
Based on the inter-provincial panel data from 2003 to 2020,this paper introduces the digital economy variables and considers the reverse green technology spillover effect of China's technology-seeking OFDI.The results show that OFDI significantly improves the level of domestic green technology innovation,and has obvious regional heterogeneity.Threshold effect analysis shows that there is a significant double threshold effect of"digital economy"in the spillo-ver of OFDI reverse green technology,and it presents a significant positive and step-increasing nonlinear law under the threshold condition.The expansion analysis shows that there is a nega-tive spatial spillover effect of OFDI reverse green technology spillover,and the digital economy accelerates the reverse green technology spillover of OFDI within the province,but strengthens the negative spatial effect of OFDI inter-provincial reverse green technology spillover through the"siphon effect".In view of this,it is necessary to continue to optimize the OFDI location,pro-mote the application of digital economy in the field of"dual carbon",narrow the inter-provincial digital divide,and fully tap the new momentum of China's green technology innovation.
