摘要

Abstract

Based on multi-source data and econometric modeling

this paper systematically analyzes the characteristics of structural transformation

key driving factors

and optimization pathways of macro-level productivity in the era of the digital economy. Firstly

by employing the Solow residual method and the Malmquist index approach to measure trends in total factor productivity (TFP)

we find that China's macro productivity has exhibited a U-shaped change—rising initially and then slowing down—since 2010

with significant regional and sectoral disparities. Secondly

in terms of structural transformation

industrial upgrading

labor resource reallocation

capital deepening

and innovation agglomeration have emerged as typical patterns

with the digital economy exerting a particularly pronounced amplifying effect on high-value-added industries. Thirdly

empirical analysis reveals that digital infrastructure development

the expansion of digital penetration

and policy support are the core drivers of TFP growth

with resource allocation efficiency playing a significant mediating role.
