Enterprise Digitalization,Network Status and Pollution Reduction
This research paper employs the concurrent directorship and green patent citation data of listed enterprises to establish an enterprise relationship network index.It then investigates the impact of enterprise digitalization and its network status on pollution reduction,utilizing panel data from listed manufacturing enterprises.The findings suggest that the implementation of enterprise digitalization can significantly reduce the pollutant emission levels of enterprises,and they indicate that the more advantageous an enterprise network location is,the more conducive it is to facilitating the pollution-reducing effects of digital transformation.Compared to social relationship networks,green technology linkage networks contribute more significantly to enterprise digital transformation.Additional research reveals that the pollution-reducing effect of enterprise digitalization is primarily achieved through green technology innovation,scale economy and factor allocation effects,and its influence is significantly enhanced with the implementation of national big data comprehensive pilot zones and the"Broadband China"strategy.This paper not only examines the impact mechanism of digital transformation on pollution reduction from an enterprise relationship network perspective,but also offers valuable insights for enterprises seeking to embrace green transformation and development in the digital economy.
