产业智能化对省域生态效率的影响——基于面板数据的实证研究

The Impact of Industrial Intelligence on Provincial Ecological Efficiency:An Empirical Study Based on Panel Data

基于2010-2021年中国内地30个省域面板数据,运用考虑非期望产出的超效率SBM模型测算省域生态效率,实证分析产业智能化对省域生态效率的影响及其地区异质性,并探究绿色技术创新的中介作用以及产业集聚与绿色金融的调节作用。研究发现,产业智能化正向影响省域生态效率;在东部和中部地区,产业智能化对省域生态效率均存在显著促进作用,而在西部地区的促进作用不显著;绿色技术创新在产业智能化影响省域生态效率过程中发挥部分中介作用,产业集聚在产业智能化影响省域生态效率过程中发挥U型调节作用,绿色金融在产业智能化影响省域生态效率过程中发挥正向调节作用。

Resources,energy and ecological environment have become important factors impacting China's economic development,and it is urgent to explore a new sustainable development path that coordinates the economy and environment.As an important content of implementing the sustainable development strategy,the improvement of ecological efficiency at the provincial level is the top priority of all to promote the"win-win"of the economy and environment.The large-scale use of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence can realize the intelligence of the entire industry,promote resource utilization in the production process,reduce pollutant emissions,and effectively balance the relationship between the economy and environment,so as to improve provincial ecological efficiency.There has been some progress in academic studies on industrial intelligence,but no study has explored the relationship between industrial intelligence and provincial ecological efficiency.In view of this,with the panel data of 30 provinces(excluding Tibet)in the Chinese mainland from 2010 to 2021,this paper explores the impact of industrial intelligence on provincial ecological efficiency and the regional heterogeneity of this impact.The mediating role of green technology innovation and the moderating roles of industrial agglomeration and green finance are also explored.The conclusions of this study include four aspects.Firstly,industrial intelligence impacts provincial ecological efficiency positively;industrial intelligence has significant promoting roles on provincial ecological efficiency in the eastern and central regions,but has no significant promoting role in the western region.Secondly,green technology innovation plays a partial mediating role in the impact of industrial intelligence on provincial ecological efficiency.Thirdly,industrial agglomeration plays a U-shaped moderating role in the impact of industrial intelligence on provincial ecological efficiency.Finally,green finance plays a positive moderating role in the impact of industrial intelligence on provincial ecological efficiency.The theoretical contributions include four aspects.Firstly,different from previous studies,from the perspective of industrial intelligence,this paper verifies its positive impact on provincial ecological efficiency,clarifies the different impacts of industrial intelligence on provincial ecological efficiency of different regions,and makes a useful supplement to studies of industrial intelligence.Secondly,this paper clarifies the path role of green technology innovation in the impact of industrial intelligence on provincial ecological efficiency,and provides a new idea for the study on how industrial intelligence promotes the improvement of provincial ecological efficiency.Thirdly,this paper reveals the nonlinear role of industrial agglomeration in the impact of industrial intelligence on provincial ecological efficiency,and enriches relationship study of industrial agglomeration,industrial intelligence and provincial ecological efficiency.Finally,this paper verifies the situational role of green finance in the impact of industrial intelligence on provincial ecological efficiency,and expands the integration study of green finance and industrial intelligence on provincial ecological efficiency.This paper provides several suggestions for relevant departments.Firstly,relevant departments can establish special funds to support industrial intelligence technology study,and can also guide industries to actively explore the application of intelligence technology,and build an ecosystem of the interconnected upstream and downstream of industrial chain,so as to promote the improvement of provincial ecological efficiency.In addition,the regions should promote the development of industrial intelligence according to local conditions so as to improve provincial ecological efficiency.Secondly,relevant departments can formulate environmental protection regulations and green emission reduction standards,etc.,and effectively promote green technology innovation.Thirdly,when the level of industrial agglomeration is low,relevant departments should guide all industries to realize division and cooperation and complementary advantages according to resource endowment.Otherwise,when industrial agglomeration reaches a certain level,relevant departments can guide industries to cooperate with universities and research institutes,provide platforms and resources for industrial intelligence,so as to improve provincial ecological efficiency.Finally,relevant departments can adopt green fiscal policies to guide funds to the green field,and can also guide industries to effectively use funds in the development of industrial intelligence,so as to improve provincial ecological efficiency.
