Abstract:

Amid the complex and dynamic global landscape, the increasing threat of supply chain disruption poses a risk to the sustainable and robust development of China's economy. In today's digital era,the digital economy presents new opportunities for bolstering the resilience of manufacturing supply chains. This study empirically estimates the effects of the digital economy on supply chain resilience utilizing data from listed manufacturing companies between 2011 and 2021. Our findings reveal a positive relationship between the digital economy and supply chain resilience. This result remains significantly robust across a series of robustness checks. The channel test demonstrates that the digital economy facilitates supply chain resilience by ensuring the effective flow of information, funds, and logistics within the supply chain operations. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the role of the digital economy in enhancing supply chain resilience is more significant in enterprises with higher risk management levels, and in enterprises in areas with advantages in the development environment of the digital economy. Finally, based on the research findings of this article, corresponding policy recommendations are proposed.
