Research on the Mechanism of Industrial Digitalization Policy Empowering High-quality Development of Manufacturing Industry——An Empirical Testing from 15 Pilot Policies
The high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is the basic industrial support and important guarantee for building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects.From the perspective of policy enabling mechanism,this research conducts an empirical test with 15 industrial digit-al segmentation policies and Panel data of listed manufacturing companies from 2010 to 2020.The results show that the industrial digital policy mainly enables the labor productivity of manufacturing enterprises by improving labor quality and increasing R&D investment,but there are obvious differences in the choice of mechanism paths for specific segmentation policies.Further analysis shows that the effects of the two mech-anisms are heterogeneous in terms of enterprise technology level,scale,and location.Industrial digitiza-tion policies are more likely to affect mid to high tech,mega sized,and eastern enterprises by affecting la-bor quality.By influencing R&D capital investment,it affects mid to low tech,medium-sized,and cen-tral enterprises.And the larger the enterprise size,the lower the empowering contribution of R&D capital investment path.This research provides a unified evaluation of the relevant policy practices of industrial digitization in China.The exploration of the policy impact mechanism provides an expandable direction for the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry,which has reference significance for achieving industrial transformation and upgrading in China.
