数字产业集群政策作为中国数字经济发展的重要战略工具,其对城市绿色发展的影响及内在机制尚未得到充分揭示。该研究采用SBM-GML模型测算的绿色全要素生产率作为城市绿色发展水平的衡量指标,将国家数字产业集群政策视为准自然实验,并基于2007—2023年中国284个地级及以上城市的面板数据,运用多期双重差分法系统评估其对城市绿色发展的影响及作用机制。研究发现:①数字产业集群政策显著提升了城市绿色发展水平。基准回归表明,该政策可使城市绿色全要素生产率平均提升0.042个单位。该结论在进行系列稳健性检验后仍然成立。②异质性分析表明,在非资源型城市、非老工业基地城市以及数字经济发展水平较高的城市,数字产业集群政策对城市绿色发展的促进效应尤为突出;而在资源型城市、老工业基地城市及数字经济发展水平较低的城市,该政策效果未达到统计显著性水平。③机制检验表明,数字产业集群政策主要通过绿色技术创新、数字企业和人才集聚、产业结构合理化等方式来促进城市绿色发展。研究结果为数字产业集群政策优化提供了以下启示:首先,坚定数字产业集群政策的战略定位,在总结试点经验基础上逐步扩大政策实施范围,形成国家层面的集群发展新格局;其次,实施差异化扶持策略,针对不同资源禀赋、工业基础和数字经济发展条件的城市制定精准政策,提升资源配置效率;最后,聚焦绿色技术创新、数字要素集聚与产业结构合理化等关键机制,强化政策在推动技术转化、优化人才环境与促进产业协同方面的支持力度。
As a crucial strategic tool for China's digital economy, the impact of the digital industry cluster policy on urban green develop-ment and its underlying mechanisms remains underexplored. This study used green total factor productivity (GTFP) calculated by the SBM-GML model as the indicator for measuring urban green development levels, treated the national digital industry cluster policy as a quasi-natural experiment, and employed a multi-period difference-in-differences (DID) method to systematically evaluate the policy's impact on urban green development and its underlying mechanisms based on panel data from 284 prefecture-level and above cities in China from 2007 to 2023. The findings were as follows: ① The digital industry cluster policy significantly enhanced urban green development. Base-line regression showed that the policy could increase urban GTFP by 0.042 units on average. This result remained valid after conducting a series of robustness tests. ② Heterogeneity analysis showed that the policy's promotional effects were more pronounced in non-resource-based cities, non-old industrial base cities, and cities with higher levels of digital economy development, while they remained statistically insignificant in resource-based cities, old industrial base cities, and cities with lower levels of digital economy development. ③ Mechanism tests indicated that the policy fostered urban green development primarily through green technology innovation, digital enterprise and tal-ent agglomeration, and industrial structure rationalization. This study offers the following insights for policy optimization: First, strengthen the strategic positioning of the digital industry cluster and gradually expand the scope of policy implementation based on pilot experiences to form a new pattern of cluster development at the national level. Second, implement differentiated support strategies and formulate target-ed policies for cities with varying resource endowments, industrial foundations, and digital economy development conditions to enhance re-source allocation efficiency. Finally, focus on key mechanisms such as green technology innovation, digital factor agglomeration, and indus-trial structure rationalization, and strengthen policy support for promoting technology transformation, talent environment optimization, and industrial synergy.
