内容提要：加强数字基础设施建设能够夯实数字经济发展根基、筑牢企业数字化转型底座、促进信息化和工业化深度融合，是实现经济社会全面数字赋能和绿色转型的重要途径。本文在厘清数字赋能促进制造业企业绿色转型机制的基础上，基于“宽带中国”示范城市政策，利用2008—2021年中国A股制造业上市企业数据和渐进双重差分模型深入分析数字赋能对制造业企业绿色转型的影响。研究结果显示，以数字基础设施建设为支撑的数字赋能能够有效促进制造业企业绿色转型，这一影响在长江经济带地区、清洁生产型行业、非国有制造业和数字化转型水平较低的样本企业体现得更为明显。同时，数字赋能能够通过促进企业提高研发投入和加强污染治理等机制间接促进制造业企业绿色转型，数字赋能与劳动力结构的互补效应也能够提升数字赋能促进制造业企业绿色转型的效果。本文的研究不仅有助于丰富数字化和绿色化协同转型的相关文献，也能为推进数字基础设施建设、引导制造业企业优化资源配置和推动制造业高质量发展提供政策参考。

Abstract: Improving the layout of information networks and accelerating digital infrastructure construction can provide strong support for the digitalization and green development of manufacturing enterprises. The “Broadband China” strategy aims to enhance the development and application level of broadband networks and promote economic transformation. It has the potential to facilitate the green transformation of manufacturing enterprises through digitalization. Therefore, based on the clarification of the influence mechanism of digital empowerment on the green transformation of manufacturing enterprises and the “Broadband China” demonstration city (BCDC) policy, this paper conducts empirical research using the data of Chinese A-share listed manufacturing enterprises from 2008 to 2021 and the staggered difference-in-differences model.

The findings indicate that the BCDC policy has a positive impact on the total factor productivity and green technological innovation of manufacturing enterprises. Specifically, digital empowerment supported by digital infrastructure construction can effectively promote the green transformation of manufacturing enterprises. Meanwhile, digital empowerment can indirectly exert this promoting effect through mechanisms such as increasing R&D investment and strengthening pollution control. The complementary effect between digital empowerment and labor structure can also enhance the effectiveness of digital empowerment on the green transformation of manufacturing enterprises. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the BCDC policy exerts a more significant digital empowerment effect on the green technological innovation of manufacturing enterprises in the Yangtze River Economic Belt region and non-state-owned manufacturing enterprises. It also shows stronger digital empowerment effects on the total factor productivity of enterprises with lower levels of digital transformation. Additionally, the BCDC policy can more significantly promote the green transformation of enterprises in the clean production industry.

This paper enriches the literature on the coordinated transformation of digitalization and greening and provides policy references for advancing digital infrastructure construction, guiding manufacturing enterprises to optimize resource allocation, and promoting high-quality development of the manufacturing industry. To achieve coordinated development of digitalization and greening in manufacturing enterprises, this paper proposes the following policy recommendations: accelerate digital infrastructure construction to enhance digital empowerment capabilities; expedite the integration of informatization and industrialization to promote the digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises; speed up the development of new quality productive forces to increase the intensity of R&D investment in manufacturing enterprises; construct a green development system to strengthen environmental pollution control in manufacturing enterprises; and strengthen the development of highly skilled workforce to optimize the labor structure of manufacturing enterprises.
