THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT ON THE PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY OF CHINA'S MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY:SPATIAL EFFECTS AND TRANSMISSION MECHANISMS
This paper attempts to integrate digital economy and manufacturing production into a unified ana-lytical framework,reveal the temporal and spatial evolution law of China's digital economy and manufactur-ing production efficiency based on the perspective of dynamic evolution,construct two transmission paths of technological innovation and human capital,and use the spatial econometric model and the intermediary ef-fect model to interpret the spatial effect and test its heterogeneity from the mechanism.The results show that:1)From 2011 to 2020,Chinese digital economy presents a very obvious rapid development trend.2)The de-velopment of digital economy not only improves the production efficiency of local manufacturing industry,but also has significant positive spillover effect on manufacturing production in surrounding areas.3)The de-velopment of digital economy in the eastern and central regions has a significant positive effect on the im-provement of manufacturing production efficiency.4)Technological innovation and human capital are the mediating variables for digital economy to promote the improvement of manufacturing production effi-ciency.
