Mechanism of Digital Economy Promoting Green Total Factor Productivity of Logistics Industry——An Analysis of Mesomeric Effect Based on Factor Fusion
Digital integration is an important way for the digital economy to promote the total factor productivity of the logistics industry.Using panel data from 31 provinces in China from 2010 to 2020,the entropy weight method was used to calculate the labor and network digital integration index,as well as the factor integration structure index.The intermediary effect model was used to test the impact of the digital economy on the green total factor productivity of the logistics industry and the intermediary effect of factor digital integration.Discovery:The digital economy improves the green total factor productivity of the logistics industry by influencing the degree of labor digital integration and factor integration structure,and these two intermediary factors have similar mediation effects nationwide.Through heterogeneity analysis,it was found that the mediating effect of factor fusion is significant in all regions except Northeast China,with significant differences in mediating effects in each region.Therefore,it is necessary to improve the digitalization level of labor factors in the logistics industry based on the actual situation in each region,while also coordinating the digital integration structure of factors,improving the intermediary mechanism of factor integration,and achieving the coordinated development of digital technology and green total factor productivity in the logistics industry.
