Digital technology and Chinese-style industrial modernization: Dynamic threshold effect based on R&D Human resources
Abstract
Based on the construction of digital technology evaluation index system, this paper builds a dynamic threshold regression model to explore the complex impact of digital technology on Chinese-style industrial modernization under the threshold of R&D human resources, taking 30 provinces as research objects. It has been found that China's digital technology index is continuously improving, but there is a digital gap among regions. The beneficial impact of digital technology on Chinese-style industrial modernization has been thoroughly validated. Considering the threshold effect of R&D human resources, the influence of digital technology on Chinese-style industrial modernization exhibits nonlinear characteristics. With R&D human resources crossing the first threshold, it has shown a significant positive effect on Chinese-style industrial modernization, and the middle range of R&D human resources presents the optimal interval of the relationship between the two. The research findings offer a theoretical framework for advancing the construction of Chinese-style modernization.
