As an important carrier of new quality productive forces,the digital economy is an important driving force for implementing the concept of"two mountains"and continuously enabling the realization of the value of ecological products.Based on the panel data of 245 prefecture-level cities in China from 2011 to 2021,this study introduces the coupling and coordination degree of"two mountains"conversion as the proxy variable for the value realization of eco-logical products,and empirically analyzes the impact effect and mechanism of digital economy on the value realiza-tion of ecological products from the two dimensions of"a well-functioning government"and"an efficient market".The results show that the enabling effect of digital economy on the value realization of ecological products is signifi-cant,and the conclusion is still valid after a series of robustness tests.The heterogeneity test shows that the enabling effect of digital economy on the realization of the value of ecological products has regional heterogeneity,showing a positive impact pattern in the East,Middle and West,and the impact effect on resource-based cities is more signifi-cant.From the perspective of action mechanism,digital economy is enabled to realize the value of ecological products through two paths:the optimization effect of environmental protection governance of"a well-functioning government"and the driving effect of scientific and technological innovation of"an efficient market".Based on this,this study pro-poses policy suggestions such as strengthening the construction of digital infrastructure in combination with the re-source endowment of different regions to realize the value of ecological products.
