Abstract
This study, based on panel data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2023, employs the Difference-in-Differences (DID) method to systematically evaluate the impact of supply chain innovation support policies on firms' digital transformation and its underlying mechanisms. The findings reveal that: supply chain innovation policies significantly propel the process of firms' digital transformation; these policies facilitate firms' allocation of more resources to digital transformation by alleviating financing constraints; industry concentration amplifies the promotional effect of supply chain innovation policies on firms' digital transformation; and the extent of digital transformation enhancement is significantly higher for state-owned enterprises compared to non-state-owned ones.
