“…Specifically, given that the policy texts are issued independently by governments and do not involve inter-policy citations, we exclude the citation indicator (X10) from the original model. Furthermore, since some original indicators, such as research orientation, econometric methods, and geographic analyses, are not consistent with the digital policy content, we follow the modification measures proposed by other scholars [47,48] and replace them with policy evaluation (X5), policy guarantees (X7), and policy focuses (X8) by mining digital policy texts and conducting thematic analysis.…”

In the context of promoting sustainable development and innovative growth, few studies have examined the signaling role of digital policy texts and its effects on enterprise innovation. Focused on the pilot project of China’s National Big Data Comprehensive Pilot Zone (NBCPZ), this article applies the modified PMC index model to measure the quality of the 81 digital policies issued by the NBCPZ from 2016 to 2022 and uses a regression model to assess the impact of the digital policies’ quality on the enterprise innovation levels. The results show that the quality of digital policies released by NBCPZ in China shows temporal fluctuation and regional heterogeneity. High-quality digital policies positively promote enterprise innovation, and this relationship exhibits heterogeneity based on enterprise and industry characteristics. High-quality digital policies can enhance enterprises’ innovation level by optimizing the regional data innovation environment and enhancing the willingness of enterprises to innovate with data. These findings reveal the potential effects of digital policy in fostering sustainable enterprise practices and driving enterprise innovation capabilities.

“…The PMC-Index model has been widely used in ecological policies, such as carbon neutrality [41,42], solid waste policies [43], and green development [44]; industrial policies, such as new-energy vehicle industry policies [45] and shipping decarbonisation policies [46]; and livelihood policies, such as high-tech industry [47], land protection [48], and vehicle polies [49]. Each of these has high applicability.…”

The Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by all United Nations Member States, emphasize sustainable cities and communities, aiming to strengthen development planning and foster positive links between urban and rural areas by 2030. As the newly leading platform for urbanization development, characteristic towns (‘Tese Xiaozhen’ in Chinese) contribute to the target of sustainable urbanisation, wherein town policies are especially important for leading the sound development of characteristic towns. However, the effect of these characteristic towns policies remains uncertain. Additionally, most related studies have utilized qualitative methodologies in policy evaluation, which may be inadequate to guide actual practice. Thus, in order to accurately acknowledge the effect of characteristic towns policies, a policy evaluation framework is established in this paper, utilising the multiple streams theory, text mining and the Policy Modelling Consistency Index model (PMC-Index model). Then, taking 225 policy documents promulgated in China from 2015 to 2022 as the research objects, policy evaluation indicators were selected by combining the multiple streams theory to improve the PMC-Index model and a text mining method. Thereafter, an empirical analysis was conducted to evaluate the consistency of 10 characteristic towns policies chosen. The results indicate that the mean value of the PMC indexes of the 10 examined policies is 7.13 in the total of 9 points, which means that the general performance of the characteristic town policies is satisfactory, yet the low scores in terms of effectiveness, content, and guarantee. In the end, some recommendations and suggestions are proposed for clarifying administrative attributes, optimizing the integration of urban and rural resources, and adjusting the policy hierarchy to a bottom-up approach. This study not only provides a policy evaluation framework to comprehensively understand the consistency of global urbanization policies but also offers a beneficial reference for promote urban–rural sustainable development.

Under the background of accelerating scientific and technological progress and continuous expansion of technology scale in China, the policy of national independent innovation demonstration zones has been continuously deepened and improved, which promotes the development, transformation and upgrading of innovative economy in China and provides important support for the construction of regional innovation system. Based on the panel data of 285 cities in China from 2003 to 2020, this paper uses the difference in differences (DID) method to explore the impact of the national innovation Demonstration zone policy on regional innovation Capability, and to analyze and test the mechanism of diversified agglomeration and specialized agglomeration of hightech service industries in the relationship between the two. Further, this paper tests the heterogeneity of policy effect in regions and policy layout; The spatial econometric method is introduced to consider the spatial spillover effect, and the spatial Durbin model is used to further explore the impact of the policy of the national Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone on regional innovation. The empirical results show that the establishment of the national Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone can promote regional innovation capability; The agglomeration of high-tech service industry plays a mediating role in the relationship between the two. The impact of the policy on innovation in the western region is much stronger than that in the eastern and central regions. Through the comparison of policy pattern, the policy effect of the single-city layout is much higher than that of the multi-city layout; There are significant negative externalities in the impact of the national independent innovation demonstration zone policy on regional innovation capability.
