Abstract
The rapid advancement of scientific innovation and industrial restructuring has extensively promoted high-quality industrial development. However, whether the digital economy (
DE
) can effectively drive the green transformation (
GT
) of manufacturing remains uncertain. This study examines the influence of
DE
on
GT
in China’s manufacturing sector by developing an impact-effect model (
IEM
) to analyze their relationship. The study examines panel data from thirteen Heilongjiang cities using fixed-effect, quantile regression, and threshold models to assess
DE
impacts on
GT
across manufacturing industries. The results reveal heterogeneous effects: industries with lower levels of green development benefit more from
DE
, while advanced sectors experience reduced marginal gains. Digital technologies significantly aid eco-friendly transformation. The findings emphasize the importance of tailoring digitalization policies to industry-specific stages of green development to maximize
GT
potential. Targeted strategies, particularly for less environmentally friendly industries, are recommended to optimize the transformative role of
DE
in sustainable manufacturing.
As China transitions to a higher development stage, the environmental dividends of smart-digital upgrades are growing more prominent. Boosting green total factor productivity (GTFP) in manufacturing is critical for fostering emerging quality-driven productive forces. Employing provincial data from 30 regions (2013–2023...
The collaborative transformation of digitalization and greening has become a core trend for modern enterprises to build sustainable development systems. As a typical voluntary environmental regulation in China, green factory certification plays an important role in promoting the integration of digital technology and gr...
The digital economy (DE) is a nascent economic model with the potential to mitigate urban industrial pollution (UIP) while encouraging high-quality economic expansion. This paper utilized panel data from 258 Chinese cities and employed the fixed-effects model, the mechanism test model, panel threshold model, and the sp...
