数字经济赋能林业高质量发展:作用机制与空间效应

On Digital Economy’s Empowerment on the High-Quality Development of Forestry:Mechanisms of Action and Spatial Effects

加快数字经济发展是全面推进林业现代化建设的必然要求,也是实现林业高质量发展的必然选择。文章基于2011—2021年我国278个地级市面板数据,综合测度数字经济发展水平与林业高质量发展水平,对数字经济赋能林业高质量发展的影响效应及作用机制进行实证检验,并对空间溢出效应进行多维分析。结果表明:数字经济发展可以显著提升林业高质量发展水平,这种影响具有正向空间溢出效应;东部城市与中心城市的数字经济对林业高质量发展的赋能效应更强;数字经济通过促进林业产业集聚和林业劳动生产率提升实现林业高质量发展;数字经济与绿色技术创新的协同水平在数字经济赋能林业高质量发展进程中具有显著的正向调节效应。为推动林业高质量发展,文章提出要加快数字经济与林业发展的深度融合,推进林业产业集聚,促进数字经济与绿色技术创新协调发展,实施差异化发展策略。

Accelerating the digital economy's development is an imperative for comprehensively advancing the modernization of forestry and an essential choice for achieving high-quality forestry development.Utilizing panel data from 278 prefecture-level cities in China spanning 2011 to 2021,this paper conducts a comprehensive assessment of the digital economy's development level and the high-quality development level of forestry.It empirically examines the impact and mechanism of the digital economy's role in enabling high-quality forestry development,along with conducting a multidimensional analysis of spatial spillover effects.The results demonstrate that digital economy progress significantly promotes the high-quality development of forestry and exhibits a positive spatial spillover effect on neighboring areas.The enabling effect of the digital economy is more pronounced in eastern and central cities,fostering the agglomeration of the forestry industry and enhancing forestry labor productivity.The synergy between the digital economy and green technology innovation positively influences this effect.To achieve these outcomes,there is a need to expedite the deep integration of the digital economy and forestry development,encourage the agglomeration of the forestry industry,facilitate the coordinated development of the digital economy and green technology innovation,implement differentiated development strategies,and propel the high-quality development of forestry.
