Revitalization of the Real Economy:Intelligent Manufacturing and Manufacturing Enterprises from "Real to Virtual"
The problem of manufacturing industry from"real to virtual"has seriously shaken the status of manufacturing industry as the pillar of the national economy.Aiming at the problem of the manufacturing industry from"real to virtual",based on the panel data of A-share manufacturing listed companies from 2011 to 2021,this paper introduces a quasi-natural experi-ment of intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration action,comprehensively explores the impact of intelligent manufacturing on the manufacturing enterprises from"real to virtual".It is found that intelligent manufacturing can prevent manufacturing en-terprises from"real to virtual",and this conclusion is still valid after a series of robustness tests and endogeneity processing,and encouraging enterprises to innovate investment and improving the return on real assets are important mechanism.Heterogeneity analysis shows that the effect of intelligent manufacturing on restraining manufacturing enterprises from"real to virtual"only ex-ists in the eastern region and the environment of middle and low industry competition and financing constraints,and the effect is not obvious in the central and western regions and the environment of high industry competition and financing constraints.Fur-ther discussion confirms that both production-oriented intelligent manufacturing mode and collaborative intelligent manufactur-ing mode can curb manufacturing enterprises from"real to virtual",but the latter effect is stronger.The relevant research conclu-sions of this paper provide a new evidence to revitalize the real economy and it also provide a supporting basis for promoting the development of intelligent manufacturing in China.
