Digital Economy Empowers High-Quality Development of the Manufacturing Industry in Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle
This study examines the impact of digital economy on the high-quality development of manufacturing in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle using the urban data from 2008 to 2020.The CRITIC-Entropy method combined with the TOPSIS method was employed to measure digital economic development and high-quality manufacturing de-velopment.The research findings are as follows.First,the digital economy significantly promotes high-quality manufac-turing development in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle,and this finding remains robust after a series of stabili-ty tests.Second,the driving effect of the digital economy on the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is more evident in regions with higher levels of technological innovation.Additionally,while the digital economy has fa-cilitated high-quality manufacturing development in river basin areas,it has not been conducive to such development in non-river basin areas at this stage.Third,digital economy has significantly enhanced the innovation capabilities and quality efficiency of manufacturing in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle.However,its impact on promoting green development is not significant,and it is not beneficial for enhancing the basic industrial capabilities of manufactur-ing.Therefore,it is crucial to leverage the radiating and driving effects of Chengdu and Chongqing,promote the deep integra-tion of digital economy and manufacturing,strengthen regional coordinated development of manufacturing,and consolidate the digital foundation for high-quality manufacturing development in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle.
