“…In the context of the relationship between the digital economy and green technology innovation, scholars have primarily investigated how digitalization can promote the development and application of green technologies. He [18] and Dou [19] analyzed the impact of the digital economy on green technology innovation within enterprises, suggesting that the digital economy provides strong technological support and platforms for green technology innovation, therefore promoting both the quality and quantity of such innovations. Wang [20], based on panel data from 274 prefecture-level cities in China and using modeling analysis methods, explored the effects of the digital economy on green technology innovation, finding that the digital economy effectively enhances the output of green technology innovation.…”

Based on panel data from 285 prefecture-level cities in China from 2019 to 2023, the synergistic effects of the digital economy, green technology innovation, and ecological environment quality were analyzed. First, using the entropy method, the measurement dimensions of the indicators of the digital economy, green technology innovation, and ecological environment quality were obtained. Second, employing a neural network model with these measurements as input variables, the interactive relationship among the digital economy, green technology innovation, and ecological environment quality was explored. Finally, based on the calculation results of the neural network model, the importance and impact of each input parameter on ecological environment quality were determined using weight analysis methods. The research findings indicate: (1) Utilizing the entropy method, the measurement dimensions of the indicators of the digital economy, green technology innovation, and ecological environment quality were obtained. Analysis of each indicator measurement reveals that environmental pressure has a significant impact on ecological environment quality, with significant differences in environmental pressure among different regions. Industrial digitization emerges as the core factor influencing the digital economy, being the most significant driving effect, followed by digital industrialization. Green technology innovation is crucial for promoting environmental protection and achieving high-quality green economic development. (2) Based on the neural network model, the interactive relationship among the digital economy, green technology innovation, and ecological environment quality was revealed. The results indicate that the digital economy has a direct impact on improving ecological environment quality. The relationship between the digital economy and the ecological environment exhibits nonlinear effects, with the rate of change in environmental pressure and environmental status measurements initially increasing significantly and then gradually slowing down as the measurement levels of digital industrialization and industrial digitization increase. Improvement in digital governance and data value measurement levels will contribute to enhancing environmental status and environmental governance levels. (3) Through weight analysis, it was found that in terms of direct effects, industrial digitization, and digital industrialization have the most significant impact on environmental pressure, with importance coefficients of 0.45 and 0.3, respectively, while data valorization has the least impact. Regarding intermediary effects, industrial digitization and green technology innovation have the most significant impact on environmental pressure, while digital governance and green technology innovation have a relatively clear impact on environmental status and environmental governance. These results lay the foundation for promoting the coordinated cooperation between the digital economy and green technology innovation and for advancing the establishment of a win–win situation between economic development and environmental protection.

“…Opening to the outside world (open) can bring in advanced technology and talents and reduce the cost of production and operation. This article is expressed by the proportion of foreign investment to GDP [52,73]. High levels of human capital (hc) mean that administrative costs are likely to be reduced, as reflected in the ratio of the number of students with a university degree or above to the number of employees [40].…”

The development of digital economy (Dig) promotes the development of green economy and the progress of ecological civilization. Based on the panel data of China from 2010 to 2020, this paper constructs the relevant index system and analyzes the impact of the Dig on environmental pollution (EP) by using a variety of econometric models. Subsequently, combined with the transmission effect to discuss its influence mechanism, the spatial quantile regression was used to explore spatial effects. The Dig is conducive to reducing EP, and there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the two. Meanwhile, its influence has obvious regional heterogeneity, and the inhibition effect of Dig on EP is better in technology-intensive areas. Dig can alleviate EP by promoting technological innovation and optimizing industrial structure, but resource allocation has not played a role. In addition, the Dig has a significant impact on the distribution of EP in the middle quantile, and there is a negative spatial spillover effect on EP. Consequently, the study puts forward some suggestions to alleviate pollution from the aspects of promoting technological innovation and improving resource allocation efficiency.

“…In terms of research perspectives, Sun et al [4] explore the relationship between digital economy and urban green technology innovation from the perspective of environmental information constraints using a provincial panel, He et al [5] find that digital economy promotes green technology innovation by alleviating financing constraints from the perspective of financing constraints, and Ma and Zhu [6] focus on the structural perspective of human capital and delve deeper into the human capital role in the two. In terms of the transmission mechanism, the relationship between digital economy and green technological innovation is not simple.…”

With global economic transformation and environmental sustainability increasingly taking center stage, the role of digital economy (DE) becomes particularly critical in corporate green technology innovation (GTI). Based on the data of Chinese A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2011 to 2020, this paper explores the interactive effects of DE and GTI, and the mechanism role of data resources (DR) in it, as well as conducts in-depth analyses for different regional and city characteristics. The main findings are as follows: first, DE significantly promotes the process of GTI. Second, from the perspective of regional differences, the promotion effect of DE on green technology innovation is particularly prominent in the eastern and central regions. And analyzed from the city level, its positive effect is most significant in the second-tier cities, but shows a negative effect in the fourth and fifth-tier cities. Further examined from the perspective of resource dependence, DE inhibits green technology innovation in resource-based cities, while showing a significant facilitating effect in non-resource-based cities. Third, DE can further promote green technology innovation by enhancing firms’ DR. Fourth, the study reveals the threshold effect of DR in this relationship: when DR < 2.5649, DE presents an inhibitory effect on green technological innovation, while its promotional effect begins to appear when 2.5649 ≤ DR < 4.2767, and the promotional effect of DE on GTI becomes more obvious when DR ≥ 4.2767.
