地方经济增长压力对企业数字化转型的影响研究

The impact of local economic growth pressure on enterprise digital transformation

政府部门在企业转型过程中扮演着重要角色,地方政府为实现既定经济增长目标而将增长压力传导至辖区企业,进而会对企业数字化转型产生影响。基于我国2007—2019年A股上市企业数字化转型与历年政府工作报告数据,探讨地方经济增长目标压力对企业数字化转型的影响。结果显示:地方经济增长压力过高会抑制辖区内企业数字化转型活动,且负面效应在不同的地区经济禀赋、行业属性和企业属性之间存在差异。机制分析表明:经济增长目标压力通过减少政府对企业科技投入的直接资源补充、加剧企业融资约束以及影响辖区内数字发展环境等路径对企业数字化转型产生影响。研究结论不仅为探讨宏观经济增长与微观企业高质量发展提供了新思路、新视角,也为数字经济时代背景下的经济增长目标管理体制优化、政府行为管理与企业数字化转型升级改造提供了政策建议和启示。

Government departments play an important role in the process of enterprise digital transformation,and local governments transfer the pressure of economic growth goals to local enterprises,which in turn affects the digital transformation of enterprises.Based on the data of digital transformation from A-share listed companies and annual government work reports from 2007 to 2019 in China,this study explores the impact of local economic growth goal pressure on digital transformation of enterprises.The results show that excessive pressure of local economic growth inhibits digital transformation activities of enterprises in the jurisdiction,and the negative effects vary among economic endowments,industry attributes,and enterprise attributes in different regions.The mechanism analysis shows that the pressure of economic growth affects the digital transformation of enterprises through reducing direct resource supplementation from the government to enterprise technology investment,exacerbating enterprise financing constraints,and influencing the digital development environment within the jurisdiction.The research conclusions not only provide new ideas and perspectives for exploring macroeconomic growth and micro-enterprise high-quality development but also provide policy suggestions and insights for optimizing the management system of economic growth goals in the context of the digital economy era,enhancing government behavior management and upgrading of enterprise digital transformation.
