Abstract

The synergy of digitalization and greening (DGS) enhances the resilience of the industrial chain (ICR), a critical aspect for the sustainable growth of the national economy. This symbiotic relationship not only facilitates the enhancement of quality and efficiency within the manufacturing sector but also propels forward sustainable economic development. Therefore, how DGS can improve ICR deserves in-depth study. Drawing on the panel data encompassing manufacturing industries across 30 provincial-level administrative regions in China from 2013 to 2022, this study employs a regression model to delve into the mechanisms through which DGS within manufacturing industries impacts ICR. The main results are as follows: (1) DGS in manufacturing makes a positive contribution to ICR; (2) The impact of DGS on ICR varies across regions, with a diminishing effect from the eastern to the western region. (3) Technological innovation reinforces the influence of DGS on ICR. (4) Spatial measures show that the development of DGS in one location has a negative spatial spillover effect on ICR in neighboring areas. Based on the above conclusions, this paper puts forward a series of recommendations aimed at promoting industrial chain resilience.
