Abstract

Drawing on the theoretical core of digital productivity, this research analyzes how digital productivity affects the high-quality development of manufacturing enterprises. Based on economic theories, this study first formulates a research hypothesis, then empirically tests the theoretical proposition using a sample of manufacturing enterprises in Taian City from 2011 to 2022. Specifically, this study constructs an indicator evaluation system for digital productivity and high-quality development in manufacturing, measures their development indices, and employs a two-way fixed effects model to empirically test the theoretical mechanisms. The following conclusion has been obtained through research: Improving the development level of digital productivity is conducive to promoting the high-quality development of manufacturing enterprises in Tai'an. This paper, leveraging the research conclusions mentioned above, comes up with targeted strategy proposals for propelling the high-quality progress of Tai'an’s manufacturing enterprises.
