党的十九大报告明确提出要推动经济向高质量增长转型，而全要素生产率是高质量发展的动力源泉。本项目从信息通讯技术（ICT）的全新视角，构建ICT影响企业生产率的理论模型，首次探索性、系统性地考察ICT如何影响生产率，并打开“ICT影响生产率”的黑箱，剖析ICT提升生产率的具体路径和渠道。进一步地，基于“世界银行中国企业调查数据库”、“中国工业企业数据库”，采用混合最小二乘回归（POLS）、工具变量法、PSM-DID等科学稳健的实证策略对上述机制进行实证检验，为国际上“ICT生产率悖论”文献提供来自中国的微观证据。最后，通过全球智能制造“灯塔企业”转型案例，讨论公共政策组合。预计本项目将有力地推进和拓展“ICT与生产率”的相关研究，丰富和深化对智能制造转型具体路径、方案的理解，为国家制定ICT推动高质量增长转型政策提供新观点、新思路和新证据，对推动我国高质量增长具有重要学术价值和现实意义。

The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that it is necessary to promote the transformation of the economy to high-quality development, and the improvement of total factor productivity is the source of power for high-quality development. This project firstly constructs a theoretical model of ICT impact on enterprise productivity from a new perspective of information and communication technology (ICT). It is the first exploratory and systematic study of how ICT can improve productivity, and opens the black box of “ICT affects enterprise productivity” to analyze the Specific paths and channels for ICT to improve productivity. Further, based on the “World Bank China Enterprise Survey Database” and “China Industrial Enterprise Database”, the above mechanisms are empirically tested using scientifically sound empirical strategies such as pooled least squares regression (POLS), instrumental variable method, and PSM-DID to provide micro-evidence from China for the international "ICT productivity paradox" literature. Finally, through the global smart manufacturing “leading enterprise” transformation case, discuss the corresponding public policy portfolio. It is expected that this project will vigorously promote and expand the research related to “ICT and productivity”, enrich and deepen the understanding of the specific path and plan of intelligent manufacturing transformation, provide new viewpoint and evidence for the country to formulate ICT to promote high-quality manufacturing growth transition policies, and have important academic value and practical significance for promoting our country high-quality growth.
