“…That is, digital economy agglomeration demonstrates a "U"-shaped impact on inclusive green growth. When economic growth is slow, the focus of development is to improve economic growth (Zhao & Zhou, 2021). Emerging technology consumes considerable energy (Singh et al, 2020) and is not conducive to inclusive green growth.…”

Inclusive green growth, which considers green growth, inclusive growth and growth, is a sustainable development model that aims to pursue the comprehensive and harmonious growth of humans, the economy, society, and the environment. Against the backdrop of the pandemic as well as sluggish economic development, the global economy is endowed with a driving mission that may affect inclusive green growth. This research primarily discusses the influence of digital economy agglomeration on inclusive green growth and its transmission mechanism in China. Specifically, the slacks-based measure of directional distance functions (SBM-DDF) model was integrated with the global Malmquist-Luenberger index (GML) to calculate inclusive green growth at the city level for 282 cities in China during 2004-2019. A measurement system for the digital economy level was constructed, and the degree of digital economy agglomeration in each region was further measured through geographic concentration. Based on these analyses, this research points out that digital economy agglomeration exerts a positive influence on inclusive green growth. The transmission mechanism analysis indicates that inclusive green growth is influenced by digital economy agglomeration through energy consumption, environmental pollution, economic growth, human capital, industrial structure, and technological progress. Moreover, taking the "Broadband China" pilot policy as the starting point, a spatial difference-in-differences (SDID) model was used to analyze the policy effect. The results suggest that the "Broadband China" policy is conducive to enhancing local inclusive green growth, while it inhibits inclusive green growth in neighboring cities.

“…While a significant number of urban residents can be successfully engaged in a short time, 49 these top-down measures cannot substitute the bottom-up actions needed for the Healthy Cities initiative. The failure to treat human health as essential capital for development 50 has also contributed to a widespread belief that health is a personal matter rather than a public good. Health is largely framed as a matter of individual responsibility, 51 without little acknowledgment of the manifold ways in which unfavourable social or physical environments may restrict the capacity to lead a healthy life.…”

“…Scholars have raised question regarding the role of formal institution such as the quality of a local government (e.g., efficiency, impartiality, democracy, etc.). The quality of a local government is believed to be a key determinant for improving intellectual capital efficiency (Hamdan et al, 2017) increasing people’s happiness level (Youssef & Diab, 2021), changing living environment (Zhao & Zhou, 2021), etc. Compared to formal institutions that can be changed in a relatively short time, informal institutions including cultures, social norms or values take a much longer time to be amended, and an informal institution with a low quality is also likely to hinder the improvement of a formal institution (Williamson, 2000).…”

Can Corruption Facilitate Industrial Structure Upgrade in China? The Moderating Role of Government-Business Relationships

The literature on corruption is extensive. However, specific effects of corruption on industrial structure upgrade have received little attention in the context of China. Therefore, following the concept of organizational performance and social capital theory, a number of panel models are developed to explore how different institution domains (i.e., government’s willingness to reform, business ownership structure, and government-business collusion) moderate the effect size of corruption on upgrading the industrial structure in China. The results are generally robust after endogeneity corrections, and suggest that the effect size of corruption on the industrial structure upgrade is evidently moderated by willingness to reform and ownership structure, but government-business collusion does not appear to have a similar effect. These findings explain the variation in the corruption-performance link, and provide a novel perspective for policy makers and regulators to understand the evolutionary path of corruption within the process of economic transition in China. A local government must thoroughly understand the dynamics of an industrial structure upgrade and acquire competencies and knowledge about when the effect of corruption reaches its inflection point and how its downside can be alleviated by placing specific formal and informal institutional reforms.
