Regional Digital Transformation Promotes the Improvement of Green Total Factor Productivity——Spatial Econometric Analysis based on the Yangtze River Economic Belt
Utilizing data from provinces in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2013 to 2022,this study analyzed the impact of regional digitization on green total factor productivity (GTFP)in the manufacturing sector,along with the mediating role of technological innovation. Through the application of benchmark regression and spatial econometric methods,the research findings revealed that an increase in regional digitization positively correlates with the enhancement of GTFP in manufacturing,exhibiting spatial spillover effects. A further heterogeneity analysis across regions indicated that the middle reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt benefited most from digitization,whereas the downstream regions showed less significant positive impacts. Moreover,many important reaction systems and their analytical characteristics are displayed in the tables in order to keep this paper for reference.
