Using micro-level data from the China Labor-force Dynamic Survey (CLDS) and firm-level data from the China Employer-Employee Matching Survey (CEEMS), we employ multinomial probit model, ordered probit model, and instrumental variable method to analyze the effects of sectoral digital transformation on employment outcomes, wages, job autonomy, and satisfaction. Our results reveal that manufacturing digital transformation, centered on automation and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), requires high investment but generates slow returns, ultimately failing to improve job quality and contributing to declining manufacturing employment and labor shortages. In contrast, digital transformation in the service sector, driven by digital platforms and rapid channel upgrades, yields faster returns, raises wages, improves job autonomy and satisfaction, and promotes the expansion of platform gig work. These findings are robust across multiple specifications and offer new empirical insights into how differences in digitalization stages and operational models shape labor dynamics. Our study contributes to the literature by providing a comparative, cross-sectoral analysis using both worker-side and firm-side data, highlighting the mechanisms behind inter-industry labor shifts. The results have important implications for policymakers seeking to address labor shortages in manufacturing, improve job quality, and design balanced digitalization strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Digital Economy","volume":"4 ","pages":"Pages 72-94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144587549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These challenges arose from a worldwide pandemic, along with the emergence of new digital technologies (e.g., AI, 5G) and the growing importance of data as a key production factor. This research systematically examines the historical causes of anti-globalization and deglobalization through a comprehensive and critical review of relevant literature. Our findings indicate that anti-globalization initially spread among developing countries before appearing in developed countries, while the trend towards deglobalization has consistently intensified. We introduce the ‘EDGES’ framework, which encompasses Economic Systems, Digital Disruptions, Geopolitical Fracture, Environmental Sustainability, and Socio-Cultural Ideology. This framework captures the crucial challenges that MNEs currently face and will face prospectively, assisting in the establishment of a dynamic strategic response mechanism (i.e., from passive compliance for minimizing risks, defensive adaptation for maintaining competitive positioning, to an integrated approach for reshaping the global landscape). This article provides valuable theoretical insights and practical managerial implications for MNEs navigating the complexities of the digital economy era.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Digital Economy","volume":"4 ","pages":"Pages 29-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144489437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study finds that the digital infrastructure construction can exert a significant inhibitory effect on air pollution. The analysis of the moderating effect indicates that environmental policies and regulations positively moderate the relationship between digital infrastructure construction and air pollution. The mechanism analysis shows that digital infrastructure reduces air pollution by promoting technological innovation and driving industrial upgrading. The heterogeneous analysis indicates that the emission reduction effect of digital platform construction is more significant. Meanwhile, the construction of digital infrastructure in central and western regions, resource-based regions, and regions with high environmental regulation intensity has a stronger inhibitory effect on air pollution. Further analysis shows that the construction of digital infrastructure not only improves local air quality, but also has a significant mitigating effect on air pollution in neighboring areas. Meanwhile, digital talents reinforce this spatial impact.

This paper critically reviews studies on the internationalization of digital platforms to identify factors affecting their internationalization. It also aims to identify research gaps and prepare future research agendas. A systematic literature review method guided by the TCCM approach was used for this review. The findings indicate that the category (proactive or reactive) of digital platforms, the ecosystem they belong to, and the region of operation are a starting point to determine the factors that influence internationalization.

Given the diversity of these sectors, the literature exhibits distinct characteristics and trends.

We find that in the pilot regions, the BCPP significantly improves urban energy efficiency. After employing instrumental variable methods to mitigate endogeneity issues, the results remain robust. The further mechanism analysis indicates that the implementation of BCPP improves energy efficiency through the digital elements dividends (i.e., digital talents, digital capital, and digital technology) induced by internet development. Additionally, the heterogeneity results unveil that BCPP has a more significant promotion effect on energy efficiency in cities on the right side of the Hu Huanyong line and in cities with high administrative levels and a smaller share of secondary industry output. However, the policy effect of BCPP on urban energy efficiency is less significant in resource-based cities and old industrial-based cities.
