This is not only instructive for the scientific role of DF but also reflects the possible negative impacts of DF.…”

Although some scholars concentrated on the relationship between DF and economic resilience, there are large differences in research results [ 3 , 7 , 48 ]. Simultaneously, studies based on spatial effects, financial market environment, and business environment do not show the complete mechanism by which DF affects economic resilience.…”

Impact of digital empowerment on labor employment in manufacturing enterprises: Evidence from China
