企业数字化、网络地位与污染减排

Enterprise Digitalization,Network Status and Pollution Reduction

本文利用上市企业董事兼任和绿色专利引用数据构建企业关系网络指标,进而基于上市公司数据检验企业数字化及其网络地位对污染减排的影响。研究发现,数字化转型能够显著降低企业的污染排放水平,且企业所处网络位置越优越,越有助于发挥数字化转型的污染减排效应;与社会关系网络相比,绿色技术关联网络对企业数字化转型的作用效果具有更为明显的提升作用。进一步研究发现,企业数字化转型的污染减排效应主要通过绿色技术创新效应、规模经济效应以及要素配置效应来实现,且其作用效果随着“宽带中国”战略和国家级大数据综合试验区的实施而得到明显增强。本文不仅从企业关系网络视角拓展了数字化转型对污染减排的影响机理,而且也为数字经济下企业走好绿色转型发展之路提供了有益借鉴。

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 pollutionreducing 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.
