Impact of Smart Economy on Urban Green Productivity in Chinese Cities, 2014-2024

Weiming Yu's research dataset quantifies the relationship between the intelligent economy and Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP) across Chinese cities from 2014 to 2024. The 5.9 MB XLSX file contains a comprehensive panel dataset analyzed using bidirectional fixed effects, moderation analysis, and panel threshold modeling. It was last updated on May 9, 2026, and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of digital infrastructure on urban green productivity based on panel data.
• Analyzing spatial heterogeneity in smart economy benefits between eastern and western Chinese regions.
• Investigating the threshold effects of digital maturity on environmental technology breakthroughs.
• Evaluating the role of industrial structure refinement as a moderator for green growth.

Strengths

• Dataset covers a 10-year time range from 2014 to 2024.
• Analysis employs multiple econometric methods including panel threshold modeling.
• Explicitly examines spatial heterogeneity across Chinese regions.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
