摘要：
Using LSS as a quasi-natural experiment, our findings indicate that firms in LSS-implemented cities exhibit a greater degree of digital transformation compared to those in non-LSS cities. Further analysis reveals that the LSS reform promotes digital transformation by alleviating financial constraints and enhancing production efficiency. Heterogeneity analysis shows that this effect is more pronounced in manufacturing enterprises. Overall, our study contributes to the literature on logistics reform by demonstrating that such reforms foster technological advancements in firms.
