“…First, there is no paper that provides a comprehensive analysis of the socioeconomic and ecological impacts of digitalization. Second and more seriously, scholars widely affirm that cross-sectional dependence exists, which makes the estimations obtained from the traditional method biased (Canh et al 2021;Le et al 2022). Third, the nonlinear evidence is not clear at all.…”

“…First of all, there is currently no paper that provides an in-depth analysis of digitalization's socioeconomic and ecological effects. A second issue is that scholars agree that there is cross-sectional dependence, which biases the results obtained using the conventional method (Canh et al 2021;Le et al 2022). Third, there is no clear evidence of nonlinearity.…”

This paper measures the socioeconomic and resource-efficient influences of digital transformation in the public sector in the European region. To capture the socioeconomic impacts of digital public services, we employ a socioeconomic score index calculated as the unweighted average of the re-scaled scores for changes in employment, exports, and turnover from ecoindustries. Regarding resource-efficient impacts, we employ the resource efficiency score index measured as the unweighted average of the re-scaled scores for material, energy productivity, and the intensity of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Measures such as user-centricity, business mobility, and key enablers are used to demonstrate the level of digitalization in the public sector. According to our estimations based on various econometric techniques, digital public services have a favorable effect on the economy and society through a positive impact on employment, exports, and turnover of eco-industries. The effects of digitalization on resource productivity follow a nonlinear U-shaped curve, suggesting that the improvement of resource efficiency is only present when the digital transformation process reaches a certain level.

“…Using the Heckscher–Ohlin model, resource endowments, such as natural resources, labor, and capital, are critical in defining international specialization and, as a result, GVC involvement (Fernandes et al 2020 ). Especially in low-income countries, low-skilled labor generates a competitive advantage for assembly-type stages of production, which accelerates the backward GVC participation due to high imports of inputs (Le et al 2022 ). Meanwhile, the presence of high-skilled labor that can be assigned to the stages of the value chain that require more skill facilitates GVC advancement.…”

“…Hence, the level of output growth favors the production process, thus supporting the participation of GVCs. Also, Le et al ( 2022 ) use the Heckscher-Ohlin model to contend that the natural resources are utilized in a number of downstream production processes; therefore, having a lot of them enhances a country’s forward GVC involvement.…”

“…First of all, no paper provides an in-depth analysis of digitalization’s effects on the GVC participation or the scale-up within GVC. A second issue is that scholars agree that cross-sectional dependence biases the results obtained using the conventional method (Canh et al 2021 ; Le et al 2022) . Previous studies in this field have still not paid enough attention to this issue.…”

Impacts of digital business on global value chain participation in European countries

As the first empirical study of the nonlinear effects of digital business on global value chains (GVC), we provide insight into the nonlinear effects of digital business on the global value chain (GVC) values. We employ four indicators, including the value of online selling, sales through E-commerce, and customer relationship management (CRM) usage, to capture the prevalence of digital business in the economy. By testing a sample of 25 European countries that have been analyzed using various econometric techniques over the period 2012–2019, our estimation results confirm that GVC values are a U-shaped function of digitalization. That is, an increase in digitalization pervasiveness initially induces more significant risks and uncertainties, hindering European countries from getting involved in or scale-up within the GVC. However, a rise in digitalization pervasiveness goes beyond a specific threshold, which facilitates GVC activities as more opportunities are created. Furthermore, our findings suggest that digital business contributes significantly to reducing the adverse influences of global uncertainty on the GVC values, while the marginal effects of digital business on GVC values become more pronounced in countries with the most advanced institutional structure.
