Impact of digital economy on the value realization of forest ecological products——empirical analysis based on provincial panel data
Forests,as an indispensable ecological resource for human being,have enormous development potential.Digital economy can affect the value realization of forest ecological products from different dimensions.Based on panel data of 30 provinces from 2011 to 2022 at the provincial level in China,this paper constructed an evaluation index system for the development of digital economy,and used a two-way fixed effects model to quantitatively analyze the impact and mechanism of digital economy development on the value realization of forest ecological products.The results showed that:(1)The total value index of forest ecological products showed a gradual upward trend in the eastern,central and western regions,and there was still room for improvement in the value realization of forest ecological products nationwide.(2)The impact of digital economy on the value realization of forest ecological products was positive and significant,and the results still held true after gradually adding control variables and conducting a two-way fixed effects test.(3)Heterogeneity analysis found that digital economy could significantly affect the value realization of forest ecological products in the eastern,central and western regions,with impact coefficients of 0.1478,0.1416 and 0.5884,respectively.While the impact on Northeast China was not significant.In addition,the heterogeneity analysis of forest resource richness through combination classification had passed the test.This paper innovatively analyzed the mechanism of digital economy in realizing the value of forest ecological products through the perspective of property rights theory,and established a value accounting system,thereby expanded relevant research.Based on the findings and discussion,the article advocated adhering to green ecological policies,deepening the practice of the"Two Mountains"concept,accelerating the digital transformation of forest ecological products value,and promoting coordinated regional development relying on forest resources.
