“…Moreover, the impact has spatial spillover effects. Subsequently, [ 24 ] confirmed the above view. Further, they explored the mediating development that R&D innovation plays in spatial spillover effects, and finally, they found structural differences in digital finance in boosting the real economy.…”

This paper summarizes the transmission chain of “digital finance-financing constraint-firm innovation” at the theoretical and practical levels, incorporates digital finance into the empirical analysis framework of firm innovation, selects the data of Chinese GEM(Growth Enterprise Market)-listed companies from 2011 to 2020, and matches the data of the digital inclusive finance index. The paper empirically examines the incentive effect and impact mechanism of digital finance on SME innovation through the two-way fixed-effects model and mediated-effects model by matching the data of China GEM-listed companies from 2011 to 2020 with the digital financial inclusion index data. The findings show that the digital development and promotion of digital finance play a significantly positive impact in helping SMEs innovate and stimulate innovation. The effect is realized by alleviating corporate financing constraints. Further, digital finance has different incentive effects on enterprises with varying rights of property nature, as well as on other regions.

“…Therefore, we hypothesize that the land leasing policy might have a negative impact on the ULUEE. In addition, because Chinese market economy is still less than 40 years old since the reform and opening up in 1978, the foreign capital enterprises have better production and management technology than the domestic ones [33]. Thus, we hypothesize that the proportion of foreign enterprises' output account for the total output in the secondary and tertiary industries might have a positive impact on the ULUEE.…”

Using a sequential slack-based measure (SSBM) model, this paper analyzes the spatiotemporal disparities of urban land use economic efficiency (ULUEE) under environmental constraints, and its influencing factors in 270 cities across China from [2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012]. The main results are as follows: (1) The average ULUEE for Chinese cities is only 0.411, and out of the 270 cities, only six cities are always efficient in urban land use in the study period. Most cities have a lot of room to improve the economic output of secondary and tertiary industries, as well as environmental protection work; (2) The eastern region of China enjoys the highest ULUEE, followed by the western and central regions. Super-scale cities show the best performance of all four city scales, followed by large-scale, small-scale and medium-scale cities. Cities with relatively developed economies and less pollutant discharge always have better ULUEE; (3) The results of slack variables analysis show that most cities have problems such as the labor surplus, over-development, excessive pollutant discharge, economic output shortage, and unreasonable use of funds is the most serious one; (4) The regression results of the influencing factors show that improvements of the per capita GDP and land use intensity are helpful to raise ULUEE. The urbanization rate and the proportion of foreign enterprises' output account for the total output in the secondary and tertiary industries only have the same effect in some regions OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 10172 and city scales. The land management policy and land leasing policy have negative impact on the ULUEE in all the three regions and four city scales; (5) Some targeted policy goals are proposed, including the reduction of surplus labor, and pay more attention to environmental protection. Most importantly, effective implementation of land management policies from the central government, and stopping blind leasing of land to make up the local government's financial deficit would be very helpful to improve the ULUEE of Chinese cities.
