Abstract
The application of intelligent technology has an important impact on the green total factor productivity of China’s manufacturing industry. Based on the provincial panel data of China’s manufacturing industry from 2008 to 2017, this article uses the Malmquist–Luenburger (ML) model to measure the green total factor productivity of China’s manufacturing industry, and further constructs an empirical model to analyze the impact mechanism of intelligence on green total factor productivity. The results show that intelligence can increase the green total factor productivity of the manufacturing industry. At the same time, mechanism analysis shows that intelligence can affect manufacturing green total factor productivity by improving technical efficiency. However, the effect of intelligence on the technological progress of the manufacturing industry is not significant. In addition, the impact of intelligence has regional heterogeneity. It has significantly promoted the green total factor productivity in the eastern and central regions of China, while its role in the western region is not obvious. The research in this article confirms that intelligence has a significant positive impact on the green total factor productivity of the manufacturing industry, and can provide suggestion for the current further promotion of the deep integration of intelligence and the green development of the manufacturing industry to achieve the strategic goal of industrial upgrading.
Highlights
Province-Level Manufacturing Data.Since the reform and opening up, China’s economy has developed rapidly
The essence is to enhance the total factor productivity (TFP) of environmental, energy, and other factors, which is the green total factor productivity (GTFP), to make their contribution to the quality of the economic growth, which means a double win for manufacturing economic performance and environmental performance
Does intelligence affect manufacturing GTFP, and if so, how? Does intelligence have different effects on the GTFP of the manufacturing in different regions? Using the provincial panel data of the manufacturing industry in China from 2008 to 2017, this paper studies the impact of intelligence on manufacturing GTFP and the different effects in different regions
Summary
The green transformation of the manufacturing industry is imminent, which means that it needs to take environmental and energy factors into consideration in the manufacturing process. The green development of manufacturing is the key to the synchronization of the “five modernizations”, and intelligent manufacturing is an important means to realize the green development of the manufacturing industry. With the development of new global technological and industrial revolutions, intelligent manufacturing has become the main direction of the development of global. Intelligent manufacturing is of great significance to facilitate the transformation of the manufacturing industry and the development of the manufacturing value chain to the mid-to-high end. Using the provincial panel data of the manufacturing industry in China from 2008 to 2017, this paper studies the impact of intelligence on manufacturing GTFP and the different effects in different regions Does intelligence affect manufacturing GTFP, and if so, how? Does intelligence have different effects on the GTFP of the manufacturing in different regions? Using the provincial panel data of the manufacturing industry in China from 2008 to 2017, this paper studies the impact of intelligence on manufacturing GTFP and the different effects in different regions
