Government Digital Governance and Green Total Factor Productivity Improvement——Evidence from"Internet+Government Service"Pilot Policy
Government digital governance is regarded as a key path to promoting the modernization of national governance and high-quality economic development.How to promote economic development through government digital governance has become a significant issue in the current academic field.Based on panel data from 283 cities between 2011 and 2021,this study constructs a quasi-natural experiment using the"Internet+Government Services"pilot policy.It employs the difference-in-differences model and spatial econometric model to examine the impact,mechanisms,and spatial spillover effects of government digital governance on green total factor productivity(GTFP).The results show:First,government digital governance significantly improves GTFP,and the results remain robust after multiple tests.Second,government digital governance expands the potential for enhancing GTFP by promoting industrial upgrading,driving green technological innovation,and optimizing capital factor allocation efficiency.Third,the impact of government digital governance on GTFP is more pronounced in central cities and cities with higher levels of digital economy development and human capital.Fourth,the current positive spillover effect of government digital governance on GTFP is limited.This study not only enriches the theoretical framework between government digital governance and GTFP but also provides important insights for advancing high-quality economic development and governance in China.
