Abstract

Abstract

Leveraging the supportive and leading role of intelligent manufacturing to accelerate the formation of new quality productive forces is an inherent requirement and a crucial focal point for promoting high-quality development. Using the panel data from A-share listed manufacturing companies from 2011 to 2022, this study employs the difference-in-differences (DID) method to examine the impact of China's intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration projects on new quality productive forces of the enterprises. The findings indicate that the implementation of intelligent manufacturing policies significantly enhances enterprise new quality productive forces, and the conclusion remains robust after a series of tests, including machine learning-based checks. Mechanism analysis reveals that intelligent manufacturing policies primarily foster new quality productive forces by promoting enterprise basic research, facilitating intelligent production transformation, and optimizing the labor structure. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the effect of the policy on improving new quality productive forces of the enterprises is particularly significant in high-tech enterprises, technology-intensive and labor-intensive industries, and regions with higher levels of intellectual property protection. Further analysis reveals that intelligent manufacturing policies also generate positive spillover effects on new quality productive forces of the downstream enterprises. The study provides valuable theoretical support and practical insights for the promotion of national industrial intelligence policies and the leap forward in new quality productive forces of the enterprises.
