数字技术赋能如何重塑制造业企业生存优势 ——基于生产要素创新配置的视角

How does Digital Technology Empowerment Reshape the Survival Advantage of Manufacturing Enterprises: From the Perspective of Innovative Allocation of Production Factors

摘要:

数字技术正加速向制造业渗透，其能否赋能制造业企业重塑生存优势值得探讨。本文利用中国微观企业数据，考察数字技术赋能影响制造业企业生存的效应与机制。研究发现，数字技术赋能可以重塑制造业企业生存优势，平均而言，数字技术赋能水平每提高1%，制造业企业生存概率增加53.71%。异质性检验表明，数字技术赋能重塑制造业企业生存优势的效果，在非国有企业、专业化经营企业、获得补贴企业、大规模企业更为显著；相对于劳动密集型制造业，数字技术赋能重塑资金技术密集型制造业企业生存优势的效果更好；在东部区域、高科技创新区域及高知识产权保护区域，数字技术赋能重塑制造业企业生存优势的效应更强。机制检验表明，生产要素创新配置是数字技术赋能重塑制造业企业生存优势的重要机制，主要通过提高生产要素配置水平和交易效率两条路径实现。本文的研究结论为推动“数实融合”、提高新质生产力及制造业高质量发展提供了有益的参考。

Abstract:

Digital technology is accelerating its penetration into the manufacturing industry. And it is worth exploring whether it can empower manufacturing enterprises to reshape survival advantages. This paper uses Chinese micro enterprise data to study impact and mechanism of digital technology empowerment on survival of manufacturing enterprises. It is found that digital technology empowerment can reshape survival advantages of manufacturing enterprises. On average, for every 1% increase in digital technology empowerment, survival of manufacturing enterprises increases by 53.71%. Heterogeneity test shows that the effect of digital technology empowerment on survival advantages of manufacturing enterprises is more significant in non-state-owned enterprises, specialized enterprises, subsidized enterprises, and large-scale enterprises. At the same time, compared with labor-intensive manufacturing industry, digital technology empowerment have a better effect on survival advantages of capital and technology-intensive manufacturing enterprises. In addition, digital technology empowerment is more conducive to survival advantages of manufacturing enterprises in the eastern region, high-tech innovation region and high intellectual property protection region. Mechanism analysis shows that innovative allocation of production factors is an important mechanism for digital technology empowerment to reshape survival advantage of manufacturing enterprises. And it is mainly achieved through two paths: improving the level of production resource allocation and transaction efficiency. These conclusions provide useful reference for the integration of digital technology and real economy, the improvement of new quality productivity, and the high-quality development of manufacturing industry.
