Abstract:

To systematically examine the impact,dimensional differences,and regional heterogeneity of the digital economy on the high-quality development of the forestry economy,this study utilizes a fixed-effects model to analyze panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2013 to 2022.The results showed that:1)From 2013 to 2022,the overall level of high-quality development of China's forestry economy exhibited a fluctuating upward trend.2)The development of the digital economy can significantly enhance the high-quality development of the forestry economy,a conclusion that remains robust after a series of validation tests.Moreover,the three dimensions of the digital economy show a significant promotional effect,though their impact intensity varies considerably,with the driving effect of digital industrialization being the most prominent.3)Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the promoting effect of the digital economy on the high-quality development of the forestry economy shows significant regional disparities,with its impact on the central and western regions being substantially stronger than on the eastern region.The study suggests that differentiated policies should be formulated according to regional characteristics to enhance the synergy between the digital economy and the high-quality development of the forestry economy.

Key words: digital economy, forestry economy, high-quality development, fixed-effects model
