Abstract: Abstract As the global supply chain landscape evolves, supply chain stability has become a critical indicator of competitiveness for enterprises and even nations. This study examines the impact of urban supply chain digitalization on corporate supply chain stability using a panel data sample of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies from 2009 to 2024. Employing a difference-in-differences model and empirical research methodology, we systematically investigate the effects of supply chain innovation and application pilot initiatives. Findings reveal that urban supply chain digital transformation significantly promotes the stability of corporate supply chains. Further heterogeneity analysis reveals that the impact of urban supply chain digital transformation on corporate supply chain stability exhibits heterogeneity across equity ownership and industry sectors. Specifically, compared to non-state-owned enterprises and non-manufacturing firms, state-owned enterprises and manufacturing enterprises derive greater benefits from urban supply chain digital transformation in terms of supply chain stability. Therefore, governments should further optimize supply chain digital transformation efforts through advanced enterprise leadership, differentiated policy support, and the dissemination of urban best practices to promote high-quality development among Chinese enterprises.
