Abstract

Purpose Driven by the development of the global digital economy, knowledge management in industrial enterprises offers more possibilities for green innovation. Based on the perspective of external knowledge sources, this study aims to construct a panel regression model to explore the relationship between digital economy and industrial green innovation efficiency. Design/methodology/approach Panel data from 30 regions in China from 2011 to 2020 were selected as research samples. All data are obtained from national and provincial statistical yearbooks. Coupling coordination degree analysis, entropy method, panel regression analysis, robustness test and threshold effect test by Stata 16.0 were used to test the hypotheses. Findings The empirical results demonstrate the hypotheses and reveal the following findings: the digital economy is positively related to industrial green innovation efficiency and external knowledge sources, and external knowledge sources mediate the relationship between them. Moreover, based on the threshold test results, the digital economy has a double-threshold effect on industrial green innovation efficiency. Originality/value Based on the perspective of external knowledge sources, the proposed mediating mechanism between the digital economy and industrial green innovation efficiency has not been established previously, further enriching the research on the antecedents and outcomes of external knowledge sources. Moreover, this study estimated the direct influence mechanism and double-threshold effect of the digital economy on industrial green innovation efficiency from theoretical and empirical analysis, thus responding to the call of scholars and adding to existing research on how the digital economy affects the green transformation of industrial enterprises.

数字经济与工业绿色创新效率之间的关系--基于外部知识来源的视角

目的在全球数字经济发展的推动下，工业企业的知识管理为绿色创新提供了更多可能。基于外部知识源的视角，本研究旨在构建面板回归模型，探讨数字经济与工业绿色创新效率之间的关系。所有数据均来自国家和省级统计年鉴。结果实证结果证明了假设，并揭示了以下结论：数字经济与工业绿色创新效率和外部知识源正相关，外部知识源对二者之间的关系起中介作用。原创性/价值基于外部知识源的视角，提出的数字经济与工业绿色创新效率之间的中介机制此前尚未建立，进一步丰富了外部知识源前因后果的研究。此外，本研究还从理论和实证分析的角度，估计了数字经济对工业绿色创新效率的直接影响机制和双重阈值效应，从而响应了学者们的呼吁，为现有关于数字经济如何影响工业企业绿色转型的研究增添了新的内容。
