Research on the Impact of Industrial Intelligence on Urban Green Ecological Efficiency
In the context of global climate change and increasing resource and environmental pressures,green develop-ment has become a focal point for governments and academia worldwide.Industrial intelligence,as a key means to enhance production efficiency,reduce resource consumption,and mitigate environmental pollution,has emerged as a crucial pathway for promoting green development.This study constructs econometric models using panel data from 285 prefecture-level cities in China from 2015 to 2022,employing System GMM and Two-Stage Least Squares(2SLS)for estimation.The results indi-cate that industrial intelligence significantly enhances urban green ecological efficiency,with a particularly pronounced effect in central and western regions.Energy structure transformation and industrial structure upgrading play vital mediating roles in this process.The impact of industrial intelligence on urban green ecological efficiency is more substantial in areas with high levels of human capital.Heterogeneity tests reveal that while the eastern region's green ecological efficiency is already at a relatively high level,resulting in lower marginal effects of industrial intelligence,the central and western regions show more significant promotional effects due to their greater development potential.
