摘要：
Introduction: Improving land use efficiency is a necessary way to promote sustainable urban development. The objective of this study is to examine the issue of land green use efficiency (LGUE) in resource-based cities and analyze the impact of digital transformation on LGUE. The research utilizes data from 113 resource-based cities in China spanning from 2008 to 2020.Methodology: Firstly, using the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) to measure LGUE in China cities, this paper investigates the spatial and temporal evolution of LGUE in different cities. Then, this paper explores the impact of digital transformation on the LGUE of resource-based cities based on the broadband China policy using the DID method.Findings: According to the data measured by the SFA, it is found that resource-based cities are 20.4% lower than non-resource-based cities. An in-depth study found that digital transformation significantly improves LGUE, and the effect is greater in resource-based cities, which is a powerful tool to solve the difficulty of LGUE in resource-based cities. Specifically, digital transformation helps to improve the LGUE of resource-based cities enhance by technological innovation and industrial structure upgrading, and alleviating land factor mismatch.Discussion: It is not only necessary to guide and encourage the in-depth integration of traditional industries with digital technology to enhance the digital transformation of resource-based cities, but also to continuously optimize the allocation of land resources between regions and narrow the gap in LGUE between cities.

摘要：
Against the backdrop of global environmental challenges and sustainable development goals, this paper pioneers the application of social network analysis to the study of spatial associations in China’s agricultural green development. It not only enhances the understanding of the spatial interconnectivity and network structural characteristics of agricultural green developments, but also captures the complex dependencies and interactions among provinces through a network lens, offering a fresh perspective on regional agricultural cooperation and competition. The study reveals: (1) The spatial network of China’s agricultural green development displays strong overall connectivity and enhanced stability, with regional green development trends becoming increasingly interlinked and interdependent. (2) The network exhibits a clear hierarchical and core-periphery structure which, over time, shows signs of diminishing, indicating a narrowing of developmental disparities among regions. (3) Significant shifts in the roles and positions of provinces within the network occur due to the relocation of industrial focal points and adjustments in development strategies, highlighting the complexity of dynamic changes among regions. (4) The spatial association network can be divided into four main clusters: Net spillover block, Bidirectional spillover block, Net beneficial block, and Broker block, with significant gradient characteristics in the relationships between these clusters, suggesting directional and differential flows and exchanges of resources and information among regions. (5) Geographic proximity, economic development level, informatization, and agricultural technological advancement significantly influenced the development and structural evolution of the network.

摘要：
This study examines the impact of economic growth, trade dynamics, natural resources, human capital, and sustainable development from 1990 to 2022. To capture the complexity of these factors, we utilize a Novel Dynamic Semi-parametric Additive Panel model. Additionally, we employ a Dynamic panel thresholds model to explore the sensitivity of natural resources to economic development across various indices, addressing a gap in previous nonlinear technique studies. Our findings diverge from conventional financial development and economic growth theories. While increasing money may boost trade and development, it could hinder sustainable development. Interestingly, the relationship between financial market expansion, economic improvement, and natural resource use follows an inverse "U-shaped" non-linear pattern. Furthermore, the expansion of the financial sector significantly affects the interplay between human capital and natural resources. As thresholds of growth in financial markets rise, economic growth contributes more to sustainable development, mitigating its negative impact. Several implications emerge, particularly regarding minimizing energy deprivation through global economic and developmental strategies.

摘要：
The deep integration of digital technology and the real economy not only affects the production and operation mode of enterprises, but also becomes the promoter of service-oriented transformation and the driving force of sustainable development. Based on the text analysis method, this paper uses the data of Chinese listed manufacturing enterprises from 2011 to 2020 to study the impact of digital technology application on the service-oriented transformation and sustainable development of enterprises. It is found that digital technology application significantly improves the environmental performance and economic performance of enterprises by driving their service-oriented transformation and technological innovation, and then enhances their sustainable development. The improvement effect of digital technology application on the sustainable development of resource-based enterprises and capital-intensive enterprises is more significant. The conclusion in this paper provides micro-evidence for understanding the role of digital technology in addressing environmental issues and sustainable development.

摘要：
As they represent an important form of agricultural operation, the sustainable development of family farms is not only an objective necessity for promoting comprehensive rural revitalization in China, but also an imperative strategy for accelerating the construction of agricultural power in China. Based on the survey data of 357 family grain farms in China, this paper uses a structural equation model to empirically analyze the relationship between market-oriented perceptions, organizational resilience, and the sustainable development of family grain farms. The results show that market-oriented perceptions have a significant positive impact on the sustainable development of family grain farms; additionally, organizational resilience plays a mediating role in the impact of market-orientation perceptions on the sustainable development of family grain farms. Based on this, the paper proposes a two-fold approach to the sustainable development of family farms: improving the level of market-orientation perceptions of family farmers and enhancing the organizational resilience of family grain farms.

摘要：
Abstract Agricultural 5.0 (a5.0) and Industry 5.0 (i5.0) both frameworks play a crucial role in achieving sustainable development (SD) by promoting efficiency and sustainability from the corporate and agricultural perspective. Industry 5.0 enhances industrial processes through automation and data‐driven decision‐making by reducing resource consumption and emissions control practices. However, agricultural 5.0 employs certain technologies to optimize farming practices, minimize waste, and improve food production by contributing to SD. The study attempts to explore the relationship between i5.0 and SD using three major streams (i.e., economic perspective, environmental perspective, and social perspective) based on instrumental‐stakeholder theory standpoints. Second, the study investigates the connections between a5.0 and SD. Finally, a moderating influence of environmental policy (ENP) was examined between the connections of a5.0, i5.0, and SD. Data were carefully collected and organized by implementing a structural approach using SmartPls tool based on seven hundred and forty‐nine responses (N = 749). The results confirmed a positive impact of a5.0 on SD along with each dimension. Likewise, a positive nexus between i5.0 model and SD was observed. Finally, the study confirmed a positive moderation of ENP, respectively. This study provided insights into both models showing that these models promote sustainability, vital for a greener and support bringing SD, that is, social, economic, and environmental. ENP acts as a crucial moderator among i5.0, a5.0, and SD that ensures alignment with SDGs.
摘要：
The data element-driven industry (DEDI) generates large amounts of data, thereby mitigating information asymmetry. Does this affect corporate cash holdings? On the basis of theoretical analysis, this study empirically analyzes the impact of DEDI on enterprises' cash holdings and its transmission path using data of Chinese cities and A-share listed enterprises from 2008 to 2020. First, the results indicate that the DEDI reduces corporate cash holdings. As the development level of the DEDI improves, the corporate cash holdings gradually decrease. Second, the DEDI indirectly affects corporate cash holdings by influencing debt-financing and external credit supply capacities. Specifically, the DEDI increases the upstream corporate debt-financing and downstream corporate external credit supply capacities. Improvements in debt-financing and the external credit supply capacities can reduce corporate cash holdings. Third, the DEDI has a heterogeneous impact. For enterprise with CEO duality, small and medium-sized, and information technology enterprises, the impact of DEDI in reducing cash holdings is greater.

Elderly care services consumption;Elderly consumer;Social capital;Network structure;Competition for attention
摘要：
Understanding how to expedite the provision of elderly care services to align with the evolving needs of elderly consumers has emerged as a pivotal concern for societies actively embracing aging, particularly in China where the aging population is rapidly growing. Drawing on a field survey, we elucidate the formation of elderly care service consumption through the lens of social capital. Our findings reveal that demand is influenced by social engagement facilitated by social capital, with this effect being more pronounced for bridging capital. Moreover, we ascertain that in China, where 'Guanxi' (close relationships) holds significant importance, the positive impact of social capital on elderly consumers transcends mere informational gains, extending to reciprocity and trust characteristics facilitated by network centrality. Interestingly, our study challenges the applicability of the Theory of Attention Competition in the elderly care service market. In response, we have identified two practical strategies for elderly care service institutions. Firstly, there is a need to create additional opportunities to enhance the depth and scope of social participation among the elderly. This would enable them to access updated information about elderly care service offerings through multiple channels, thereby fostering a better understanding of their specific needs in this domain. Secondly, tailored promotion strategies should be developed to accommodate the diverse characteristics of elderly consumers, ensuring that the services offered align closely with their individual preferences and requirements.
