This study provides a robust empirical test of this theoretical proposition within China's provincial transportation sector (2005–2021). We employ a nested CES production function to quantify the sector-specific RE. Then, using a TEFE model with instrumental variables, we estimate the causal impact of DE development on the RE and disentangle three transmission mechanisms: the substitution effect, industrial upgrading, and resource allocation optimization. Our results confirm a significant RE and show that DE development exerts a net amplifying effect on it. This net effect stems from a dual role: while DE-enhanced resource allocation efficiency offers a mitigating force, it is outweighed by DE's stronger effects in stimulating demand (via substitution) and reshaping economic structure (via upgrading). We further document significant regional heterogeneity in this relationship. By moving from theoretical expectation to empirical verification and mechanistic unpacking, this study offers critical evidence and nuanced policy insights for designing digital strategies that genuinely advance sustainable transportation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 101725"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146189270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the market side, as the digital economy evolves from the installation to the deployment stage, it exerts a U-shaped influence on capital productivity.

As a result, evaluating service quality of public transportation systems has become a strategic decision-making concern for both private and public sections. In particular, facing with the expeditiously spreading of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it led to an unprecedented decline in public transit demand and revenue, while also exacerbating traffic congestion during peak hours. This study aims to improve the passengers' satisfaction problem of public transportation during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to assess their satisfaction degrees by conducting passengers’ satisfaction surveys. A novel projection-based regret theory approach based on interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FSs) is introduced to solve multi-criteria decision-making problems related to service evaluation. First, a projection model of IT2FSs is formulated, incorporating both distance and angle information. Second, by integrating this projection model with regret theory, new utility and regret-rejoice functions are constructed to enhance decision-making effectiveness. Comparative analyses with existing methods demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach in capturing the psychological factors of decision makers. The model yields more reliable and realistic outcomes, offering valuable insights into future enhancements in public transportation service quality. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis verifies the robustness of the method, as the ranking results remain stable when varying parameter settings. As a conclusion, the service quality of public transportation systems from the best to the worst in sequence are as follows: taxi, e-hailing, bus, van and metro, and this can assist policymakers and transit agencies in making more informed and efficient resource allocation decisions during and after the pandemic.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 101716"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146039271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Against this backdrop, this study investigates the interrelated effects of ER, LIA, and road green logistics efficiency (RGLE) in order to improve the operational sustainability of road logistics systems. Using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces spanning 2008–2023, we explore the effect of ER on RGLE and examine how this relationship varies with the inclusion of LIA using moderating and threshold effect models. Empirical results show that RGLE initially declines before increasing, with significant spatial variability. Interestingly, econometric findings indicate that ER does not directly improve RGLE but effectively enhances it through its interaction with LIA. Furthermore, the impact of ER on RGLE exhibits a “U-shaped” relationship under different LIA values.
