| Abstract |
In this research, employing the ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) estimation technique, the impacts of the digitalization of logistics on the efficiency of natural resource deployment and depletion are measured for the case of China from 1990 to 2021. The results confirmed that in the short term, the enterprise digital transformation index does not have significant coefficients, and the total factor productivity of logistics accelerates the effectiveness of natural resource consumption in China. In the long term, the enterprise digital transformation index and the total factor productivity of logistics have positive and significant coefficients. The role of the information technology factor as a mediating variable on natural resource utilization efficiency is positive in China. The paper brings new insights with various policy implications like establishing a regional digital logistics network, expanding digital green financing markets, and planning to make balanced digitalization of logistics throughout China for scholars and policymakers. |
