Abstract

The green growth impact of global value chain embedding becomes more complex in the context of digital transformation. Based on partially linear functional-coefficient model, this paper used panel data for 16 Chinese industrial sectors from 2007 to 2020 to assess the impact and underlying mechanisms of global value chain on green total factor productivity considering the moderating role of digitalization. The results revealed that global value chain position and backward participation caused green productivity to decrease, while forward participation had a non-significant effect. As the digitalization level rose, the impact of global value chain position on green productivity changed from negative to positive. Moreover, green productivity was increasingly inhibited by forward participation, but the adverse effects of backward participation gradually subsided. Actually, digitalization boosted green technological progress effects of global value chain position and backward participation, but impeded the technological progress of forward participation, thus affecting green productivity. Therefore, to achieve green growth, China's industrial sector must accelerate the synergistic development of digital transformation and global value chain, and focus on the different impacts of participation modes.

全球价值链和数字化对绿色增长的影响

在数字化转型背景下，全球价值链嵌入对绿色增长的影响变得更加复杂。本文基于部分线性函数系数模型，利用 2007-2020 年中国 16 个产业部门的面板数据，考虑数字化的调节作用，评估了全球价值链对绿色全要素生产率的影响及其内在机制。结果显示，全球价值链位置和后向参与导致绿色生产率下降，前向参与的影响不显著。随着数字化水平的提高，全球价值链地位对绿色生产率的影响由负转正。此外，前向参与对绿色生产率的抑制作用越来越大，但后向参与的不利影响逐渐减弱。实际上，数字化促进了全球价值链地位和后向参与的绿色技术进步效应，但阻碍了前向参与的技术进步，从而影响了绿色生产率。因此，中国工业领域要实现绿色增长，必须加快数字化转型与全球价值链的协同发展，并关注参与模式的不同影响。
