The Belt and Road Initiative and Green Technology Innovation of the Enterprises:Research on the Mechanism of Digital Transformation

数字化转型和绿色技术创新构成高质量发展的主要内容,识别“一带一路”倡议相关企业的数字化转型如何赋能绿色技术创新,对于实现高质量发展具有重要意义。文章构建数字化转型综合指标,运用双重差分模型检验“一带一路”倡议对绿色技术创新的影响效应与数字化转型的作用机制。研究发现,“一带一路”倡议显著促进企业绿色技术创新。机制检验发现,“一带一路”倡议显著促进企业数字化转型,进而为企业绿色技术创新赋能。异质性分析表明,在国有企业、规模相对较大企业、竞争程度较低行业企业、东部地区企业样本中,“一带一路”倡议对企业绿色技术创新有更明显的改善效应。文章为数字化转型带来的战略机遇与高质量发展提供现实借鉴。

Digital transformation and green technology innovation are the main components of high-quality development.Identifying how digital transformation of the enterprises related to the Belt and Road Initiative(BRI)empowers green technology innovation is of great significance for achieving high-quality development.This paper constructs a comprehensive indicator of digital transformation,and uses DID model to examine the impact of BRI on green technology innovation and the mechanism of digital transformation.The research shows that BRI significantly promotes green technology innovation of the enterprises.The mechanism test reveals that BRI significantly enhances digital transformation of the enterprises,thereby empowering green technology innovation of the enterprises.The heterogeneity analysis indicates that BRI has a more significant improvement effect on green technology innovation of the enterprises in the samples of state-owned enterprises,the relatively large enterprises,the enterprises with less competition and the enterprises in the eastern region.The paper provides practical reference for the strategic opportunities brought by digital transformation and the high-quality development.
