Government digital governance and corporate green total factor productivity

Abstract: Against the backdrop of increasingly severe global climate change and resource-environmental challenges, enhancing enterprises' green total factor productivity (GTFP) has become a critical pathway toward achieving sustainable development. This paper, from the perspective of government digital governance, investigates its impact on enterprises' GTFP and the underlying mechanisms. The findings reveal that government digital governance significantly improves enterprises' GTFP, primarily through two mechanisms: resource acquisition and resource reconfiguration. Specifically, digital governance contributes to higher GTFP by alleviating financing constraints and strengthening enterprises’ green innovation capabilities. Heterogeneity analysis further indicates that the positive effect of government digital governance is more pronounced among state-owned enterprises, heavily polluting enterprises, and non-high-tech enterprises. This study not only enriches the interdisciplinary literature on government digital governance and corporate green development but also provides valuable practical implications for policymakers.
