ArchiveGovernment data openness will have a significant impact on promoting green economic innovation activities. Investigating the mechanism of how government data openness affects urban green innovation efficiency is of crucial significance for accurately understanding their relationship, promoting efficiency in facilitating green economic development. Using panel data from 286 prefecture-level cities from 2011 to 2021, a multi-period double-difference model was employed to explore the impact of government data openness on urban green innovation efficiency. Government data openness effectively enhances urban green innovation efficiency. The results show that open government data can effectively enhance the efficiency of urban green innovation, and the impact is mainly realized through three paths: promoting talent concentration, stimulating innovation and entrepreneurship, and optimizing the regulatory environment. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the effect of open government data on urban green innovation efficiency is stronger in cities in central and western China, with high public concern for environmental protection and high levels of network infrastructure. Extended research finds that open government data can realize the "quantitative and qualitative increase" of green innovation, and that improving the quality of open government data platforms can strengthen its green innovation effect. In addition, this effect is also verified at the micro-firm level. The article provides useful insights for promoting high-quality open government data and green innovation in cities, and provides empirical references for exploring policy design that meets the development requirements of new quality productivity.
The "streamlining administration, delegating powers, and improving services" reform is considered a crucial measure for easing the burden on enterprises, stimulating their innovation vitality, and promoting their development. However, research on its impact on the sustained innovation of enterprises is lacking in the academic community. The impact and internal mechanisms of the "streamlining administration, delegating powers, and improving services" reform on the sustained innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises were theoretically constructed and empirically tested using 441 domestic enterprises as subjects. The results demonstrate that the "streamlining administration, delegating powers, and improving services" reform and its three dimensions-streamlining administration and delegating powers, government regulation, and public services are positively influencing the resource assembly and sustained innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises. Among these, the promotion of public services to sustained innovation is more significant, and the role of government regulation in promoting resource assembly is more pronounced. Resource assembly is found to partially mediate the relationship between the "streamlining administration, delegating powers, and improving services" reform and the sustained innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises. The mediating effect of exploratory resource assembly is more significant than that of exploitative resource assembly. Further analysis indicates that the effects of the "streamlining administration, delegating powers, and improving services" reform differ markedly among enterprises in various industries, years, and regions. Theoretical contributions and practical insights are condensed based on these findings.
As an experimental field for deepening China's scientific and technological system reform, the organizational innovation and institutional reform of new-style R&D institutions are closely related. From the theoretical perspective of institutional entrepreneurship, the organizational innovation of new-style R&D institutions has been redefined, and a grounded theory method has been used to construct an organizational innovation process model. Research has found that new-style R&D institutions integrate and drive stakeholders externally, establish the identity of "innovation hubs", create new institutional templates internally, and construct and interpret the new identity of "innovation complexes". The two processes dynamically collaborate to jointly shape the new institutional logic that binds technology and economy. A traceable and holistic theoretical explanation for the institutional advantages of new-style R&D institutions has been presented, providing reference and inspiration for establishing and improving modern scientific research institution system and promoting the modernization of the scientific and technological innovation governance system.
Joseph Schumpeter proposed the theoretical framework of entrepreneurship and technological diffusion in his work "The Theory of Economic Development". The conjecture was put on the basis that the technology innovation driven by real entrepreneurship is bound to have deeper, broader and longer-term technological influence (diffusion), while the technology innovation driven by lower, false or no entrepreneurship can only help enterprises to obtain monopoly profits or to even manipulate research and development for additional subsidies, resulting in underperformance in technological diffusion and no further benefits for the progress and common prosperity of the society. Exposed to a broad impact from digital technologies, it provides preliminary evidence and illustrates the applicability of digital technologies in various industries to help promote model innovation (industrial digitalization). Therefore, innovations driven by genuine entrepreneurship are expected to create a wider impact, or they will contradict with the nature of digital technologies. Particularly, within the digital era, entrepreneurship has taken on new manifestations and connotations. It highlights three most fundamental core elements, especially in terms of the core values in the context of technology diffusion.
Deeply cultivating the fertile ground of data elements marketization to release the value of data elements and help banks' digital transformation, which is a key initiative to make a great article of digital finance and to fully exert the financial blood supply function. Based on the panel data of 284 prefecture-level cities from 2010 to 2021, the impact of data element marketization on the banks' digital transformation was deeply explored. The results show that data elements marketization helps to promote banks' digital transformation, while this impact exhibits significant heterogeneous characteristics in terms of city capacity, financial resilience and business credit environment. Mechanism analysis reveals that resource allocation efficiency is the channel through which data elements marketization promotes banks' digital transformation, and fintech and banking competition play a positive moderating effect in the process of data elements marketization empowering banks' digital transformation. The economic consequence test finds that the facilitating effect of data elements marketization on banks' digital transformation can further act on the development of the real economy. Theoretical and practical references are provided for the implementation path of banks' digital transformation.
Under the wave of digital economy, China's banking industry is accelerating the pace of digital transformation. So how will digital transformation affect the profitability of China's banking sector? Based on the digital transformation panel data of Chinese listed commercial banks, the impact of digital transformation on the profitability of commercial banks was examined. The results show that under the severe situation of banks' profitability space being continuously compressed, carrying out digital transformation can significantly reduce banks' operating costs, improve the degree of bank diversification and operational efficiency, and then improve their profitability. At the same time, the impact of digital transformation on bank profitability is characterized by structural heterogeneity. The effect of digital transformation on the profitability of large-scale banks is more obvious. Big data technology transformation has a greater impact on bank profitability, followed closely by blockchain, artificial intelligence and cloud computing technology. Further research finds that a rise in both bank innovation ability and industry concentration undermines the promotion effect of digital transformation on bank profitability. It can provide useful lessons to better drive banks' digital transformation and improve their profitability.
As an important force driving the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, "SRDI" (Specialized, Refinement, Differential and Innovation) small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in improving the quality and safety of the manufacturing industry. "SRDI" SMEs can enhance the quality of the manufacturing industry by strengthening the innovation power of the manufacturing industry, improving the brand value, and promoting transformation and upgrading. By promoting the integrity of the manufacturing industry chain, enhancing industrial advantages and promoting the smooth flow of the industry chain, they will improve the industrial safety of the manufacturing industry. At the same time, a technology-led industrial safety guarantee mode, a market-driven industrial safety guarantee mode, a technology-led efficiency enhancement mode and a market-driven efficiency optimization mode have been formed. Based on such consideration, efforts should be made to develop "SRDI" SMEs in key niche areas, enhance their capacity, and promote their integration and development with large enterprises. For the government and relevant departments, they should strategically plan the development of "SRDI" SMEs, improve the precision of policy support, strengthen the supply of basic research technology, and improve the business environment.

The IPO research framework for the internal mechanism of industrial internet platform empowerment was built, technological, organizational and environmental factors could affect the empowerment process of industrial internet platform and then produce positive and negative effects. It enriches and refines the research on industrial internet platform empowerment from new themes, new perspectives and new mechanisms, provide decision-making basis for activating the empowerment effect of industrial internet platforms, and provide practical guidance for cultivating new quality productivity based on industrial internet platforms to promote high-quality development of platforms.
Based on fixed effects panel model and panel data from Chinese listed companies spanning between 2017 and 2021, the influence of environmental information regulation on the reduction of corporate carbon emissions was examined. It is found that environmental information regulations exert a notably positive effect on the mitigation of corporate carbon emissions. Carbon emissions of designated polluting enterprises are observed to markedly decrease in the second year after being regulated. In addition, the efficiency of environmental regulatory policies in reducing carbon emissions extends beyond the directly regulated entities, manifesting in a geographical spillover that leads to a reduction in carbon emissions among non-regulated enterprises within a 20km radius. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the regulation has a more significant effect on non-state-owned companies, those located in the eastern regions, and those possess lower levels of technology. Furthermore, the environmental information regulation affect the carbon emissions reduction of enterprises continuously. The empirical findings provide new theoretical insights for government agencies, supporting the use of environmental information regulation as a tool to promote corporate green transformation.
The rapid development of digital technology has eased the pressure on manufacturing. In order to prove that industrial intelligence can solve the problem of excess capacity of enterprises, the data of manufacturing enterprises listed on Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares from 2011 to 2019 were used to study the impact of industrial intelligence on capacity utilization. The research results show that industrial intelligence can significantly improve the capacity utilization rate of enterprises, and the impact of industrial intelligence on capacity utilization of enterprises is still confirmed by using the "WinGo similar word database" to improve the measurement range of industrial intelligence indicators. Industrial intelligence can promote the improvement of the capacity utilization rate of enterprises by improving the efficiency of resource allocation, increasing the input of human capital elements and increasing the export demand of enterprises, and has a greater impact on non-state-owned enterprises, western regions, non-high-tech enterprises and technology-intensive enterprises.
