Abstract

Digital governance has become a key means of improving the quality of urban governance, particularly the green utilization efficiency of urban land. Then, using panel data from 284 cities and exploiting the implementation of the ‘National Pilot for Information Benefiting the People’ policy, this study uses a double machine learning model to explore the impact of digital governance on the green utilization efficiency of urban land and underlying pathways. The results show that digital governance can significantly improve the green utilization efficiency of urban land. Moreover, this conclusion holds under several robustness and instrumental variable tests. Next, the results of the indirect effects test show that industrial specialisation agglomeration and entrepreneurial activity are the paths through which digital governance improves the green utilization efficiency of urban land. Finally, environmental concerns can positively regulate the impact of digital governance on the green utilization efficiency of urban land.
