“…International trade promotes technological spillover and learning effects by means of facilitating the exchange of ideas horizontally through industry counterparts and labor mobility, and vertically through supply chain partners, thus accelerating the diffusion of technology [173]. This effect grows stronger in the era of digitalization as digital service trade accelerates the process of knowledge spillover [174].…”

This paper looks into the determinants of national innovation performance from the perspective of policy regime and establishes a theoretical model on how a country’s dual Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) policy regimes, democratic and meritocratic, and national absorptive capacity (NAC) jointly determine its national innovation performance. A democratic STI policy regime promotes innovation through channels of freedom, social equality, and public participation. A meritocratic STI policy regime promotes innovation through channels of good governance and rational policymaking. The model further proposes that the relationships between STI policy regimes and national innovation performance are moderated by potential NAC (PNAC) and realized NAC (RNAC) in opposing directions. The fixed-effects panel regression of OECD countries confirms that both democratic and meritocratic STI policy regimes have positive effects on national innovation performance. Moreover, the democratic effect is positively moderated by PNAC but negatively moderated by RNAC. In contrast, the meritocratic effect is positively moderated by RNAC but negatively moderated by PNAC. The major contribution of this paper is to highlight the importance of a country’s STI policy regimes as the bedrock and NAC as the leverage to generate more homegrown innovations.

The article aims to establish the impact of the use of mobile devices on business success in Latvia. The authors consider income of the enterprise for the last year, volume of sold products/services, volume of exported products/services, profitability of the enterprise for the last year, as well as a change in the market share of the enterprise for the last year as variables for business success. Despite the fact that the market share of mobile devices in Latvia comprises only 38.43%, the authors determined a weak linear relationship between variables for business success and the majority of different mobile technologies used on mobile devices. The authors study such mobile technologies as mobile access to e-mail, mobile version of the website, messenger groups for solving business tasks, SMS marketing, mobile access to company resources, advertising, management of production processes, payments of company bills from a mobile phone, equipment of a company transport system with location data transmission systems, and a company's mobile application. The authors come to the conclusion that entrepreneurs underestimate both the use of a mobile version of the website and augmented reality technologies.

“…Due to the structural attributes of the digital economy, the integration of information technology has accelerated the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries from extensive development to an environmentally friendly direction. Within the tertiary industry, industrial structures have changed from being labor and capital intensive to being technology intensive (Wen et al, 2023). Simultaneously, the digital economy has also spawned many emerging industries, most of which are technology-oriented and environmentally friendly while also promoting sustainable development.…”

This paper is based on the research hypothesis that the development of the digital economy can enable urban carbon emission reduction. We use the panel data of 275 prefecture-level cities in China from 2011 to 2019, the static panel-data interaction-effect model, and the panel-threshold model to verify the non-linear impact mechanism and heterogeneity of the digital economy in industrial structure upgrading affecting urban carbon emissions. The results demonstrate the following insights. First, due to the heterogeneity of industries, an increase in the proportion of the tertiary industry cannot reduce urban carbon emissions. Second, the digital economy has an inverted U-shaped adjustment effect on the process of industrial structure upgrading, affecting urban carbon emissions. Consequently, the integration and development of the tertiary industry and the digital economy can achieve urban carbon emission reductions. Finally, the digital economy has a double threshold effect on the process of industrial structure upgrading, affecting urban carbon emissions. The carbon-emission-reduction effect of industrial structure upgrading only appears after the scale of the digital economy crosses the first threshold. As the scale of the digital economy continues to increase, the carbon-emission-reduction effect of industrial structures is likely to continue increasing significantly. We recommend that local governments achieve urban carbon reduction by encouraging the development of high-end service industries and strengthening digital infrastructure.
