Abstract
Against the background of booming digital economy growth and
the perspective of industrial green transformation, this article
empirically evaluates the impact of digital economy on industrial
green total factor productivity (GTFP) based on provincial-level
panel data in China from 2010 to 2020. First, this article calculates
the digital economy index (DEI) and industrial GTFP, analyzes the
regional development characteristics of the two, and finds that
the growth of digital economy and industrial GTFP is unbalanced,
basically showing the east high and west low distribution. Then,
empirically examines the impact of digital economy on industrial
GTFP and finds that digital economy can significantly improve
industrial GTFP, with obvious regional variability. Finally, the
threshold model regression reveals that this promotion effect has
a threshold effect, which gradually weakened as the DEI value
crosses the corresponding threshold value
