Climate change is a significant and urgent threat, gaining traction in the scientific community around globe requiring immediate action across many sectors. In this context, digital economy could provide mutually beneficial solution by utilizing innovation technical breakthroughs to establish sustainable future that addresses environmental deterioration, promotes economic growth, encourages energy conservation. Against background, study examined diffusion of modeling-based factors affecting small medium-sized firms’ (SMFs) adoption Internet Things (IoT) technology its impact on SMFs’ sustainability performance related environmental, economic, innovation, conservation perspectives. The key findings revealed (i) relative advantage, trialability, observability drive IoT adoption. However, compatibility complexity hinder (ii) When prioritizing factors, benefit strongest driver, most barrier (iii) adopter SMFs spent less natural resources more renewable monitoring systems than non-adopter firms, boosting their sustainability. (iv) firms had greater revenue, profits, credit access non-adopters lower input costs, improving (v) innovative products enterprises, demonstrating performance. (vi) Compared utility expenses energy-efficient technologies. (vii) To realize full potential for inventive future, authorities may pursue variety policy actions involving strengthening implementation standards regulations, securing incentivization financial SMFs, diverting allocation research development avenues, capacity awareness, focusing infrastructure development.

Abstract Under the backdrop of economic globalization and digital economy, entrepreneurial behavior has emerged not only as a focal point management research but also an urgent topic within domain family finance. This paper scrutinizes ramifications financial literacy on household utilizing data from China’s sample China Household Finance Survey spanning years 2015 2017. Employing ordered Probit model, we pursue our objectives. Our findings suggest that exerts immediate, persistent, evolving positive effects households’ engagement in activities their proclivity toward entrepreneurship. Through mitigation endogeneity regression outcomes two-stage corroborate primary results. An examination heterogeneity unveils noteworthy disparities between urban rural areas, well gender discrepancies, how influences behavior. Furthermore, this study validates three potential pathways—namely income, social network, risk attitude channels—demonstrating significantly augments expands networks, enhances attitudes. Moreover, through supplementary analysis, ascertain education amplifies impact contributes to enrichment human capital theory modern entrepreneurship theory. It advocates for robust efforts by governments institutions widely disseminate knowledge foster entrepreneurship, thereby fostering stable operation both global market job market.

Abstract Strengthening the robustness and stability of industrial chains is not only a necessary pathway to achieving strategic goals China’s new development paradigm but also fundamental pillar in building modern economic system with Chinese characteristics. Drawing on panel data from 30 provinces spanning 2011 2022, this study constructs index systems for artificial intelligence manufacturing industry chain resilience (Mir) using entropy weight method. It systematically examines effects Mir its underlying mechanisms. The key findings are as follows: (1) Artificial significantly enhances Mir, result confirmed through multiple tests; (2) Mechanism analysis reveals that improves primarily technological innovation digital empowerment effects; (3) Threshold indicate intelligence’s impact exhibits nonlinear characteristics under varying levels infrastructure; (4) Heterogeneity shows pronounced structural divergence resilience-enhancing effects, stronger observed high-resilience clusters, dimensions adaptive recovery innovative reconfiguration, export-oriented supply chains. This offers novel theoretical perspective methodological framework assessing within paradigm.

Technological advancements have become a crucial driver of economic growth, particularly in the digital economy, where they significantly spurred innovation and entrepreneurship across various sectors. This progress has also led to rise smart cities, which serve as practical contexts for implementing economy. By integrating technological cities further unlocked their potential through development intelligent infrastructure. However, research on impact economy urban entrepreneurial activity remains limited, especially regarding its underlying mechanisms. To address this gap, study constructs panel dataset covering 284 prefecture-level China from 2010 2021 employs Difference-in-Differences (DID) Propensity Score Matching-Difference-in-Differences (PSM-DID) models. The findings indicate that positive activity, northern less developed well information transmission, software, technology service industries. Mechanism analysis reveals is mediated optimization business environment enhanced social credit levels. Additionally, identifies heterogeneous effects different regions, levels development, concludes progress, synergistic effect, driving high-quality development. supports turn provides foundation city construction. Based these findings, paper recommends advancing optimizing environment, improving system, formulating targeted policies promote coordinated between activities.
