“…Several scholars propose that the digital economy refers to a series of economic activities that use digital knowledge and information as key production factors, modern information networks as an important carrier, and the effective use of information and communication technology as an important driving force to improve efficiency and optimize economic structure (Pan et al , 2022; Letiagina et al , 2022; Carlsson, 2004). Although there is no consistent definition of the digital economy, scholars generally agree that the digital economy not only represents changes in technology but also brings challenges and opportunities to business models and economic activities (Brynjolfsson and Kahin, 2002; Nadkarni and Prügl, 2021).…”

Purpose Driven by the development of the global digital economy, knowledge management in industrial enterprises offers more possibilities for green innovation. Based on the perspective of external knowledge sources, this study aims to construct a panel regression model to explore the relationship between digital economy and industrial green innovation efficiency. Design/methodology/approach Panel data from 30 regions in China from 2011 to 2020 were selected as research samples. All data are obtained from national and provincial statistical yearbooks. Coupling coordination degree analysis, entropy method, panel regression analysis, robustness test and threshold effect test by Stata 16.0 were used to test the hypotheses. Findings The empirical results demonstrate the hypotheses and reveal the following findings: the digital economy is positively related to industrial green innovation efficiency and external knowledge sources, and external knowledge sources mediate the relationship between them. Moreover, based on the threshold test results, the digital economy has a double-threshold effect on industrial green innovation efficiency. Originality/value Based on the perspective of external knowledge sources, the proposed mediating mechanism between the digital economy and industrial green innovation efficiency has not been established previously, further enriching the research on the antecedents and outcomes of external knowledge sources. Moreover, this study estimated the direct influence mechanism and double-threshold effect of the digital economy on industrial green innovation efficiency from theoretical and empirical analysis, thus responding to the call of scholars and adding to existing research on how the digital economy affects the green transformation of industrial enterprises.
