Abstract

As a new engine to promote global economic and social development, information and communication technology (ICT) plays a key role in the field of modern economy. The aim of this paper is to investigate the nexus between ICT and green total factor productivity (GTFP) on a global scale. An extended data envelopment analysis model (DEA), named WINDOWS-US-SBM, was constructed for calculating the GTFP of 65 countries from 2007 to 2019. This paper empirically analyzes the spatial effect and the transmission mechanism of ICT development on GTFP in countries from different income groups. The results show a prominent imbalance between ICT development and GTFP in various countries. ICT can effectively improve GTFP and play a crucial role in lower middle-income countries. The development of ICT can improve GTFP through technological progress, energy intensity, and trade openness. This paper is helpful to provide policy guidance for the development of ICT and give a new perspective of global green development.

可持续的数字化转型：信息技术与全球绿色经济增长之间的关系

作为推动全球经济和社会发展的新引擎，信息和通信技术（ICT）在现代经济领域发挥着关键作用。本文旨在研究全球范围内信息和通信技术与绿色全要素生产率（GTFP）之间的关系。本文构建了一个名为 WINDOWS-US-SBM 的扩展数据包络分析模型（DEA），用于计算 65 个国家 2007 年至 2019 年的 GTFP。本文实证分析了信息和通信技术发展对不同收入群体国家 GTFP 的空间效应和传导机制。结果表明，各国 ICT 发展与 GTFP 之间存在着显著的不平衡。ICT 可以有效改善 GTFP，并在中低收入国家发挥重要作用。ICT 的发展可以通过技术进步、能源密集度和贸易开放度改善 GTFP。本文有助于为 ICT 的发展提供政策指导，为全球绿色发展提供新的视角。
