Abstract

The digital economy and artificial intelligence act as critical accelerators for Chinese-style modernization, significantly boosting financial performance of manufacturing enterprises in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region. They are vital for advancing high-quality manufacturing development, enhancing enterprise value, and achieving the “dual carbon” objectives (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality). This study uses the entropy weight method and coupling coordination measurement model to analyze three interrelated systems: the digital economy, artificial intelligence, and high-quality manufacturing development in the BTH region. Based on 2013–2023 panel data from 13 BTH municipalities, a comprehensive evaluation index system is constructed to examine the systems’ overall development and internal coupling mechanisms. Key findings include: 1) The three systems show an overall upward trend—steady growth for the digital economy, explosive late-stage growth for artificial intelligence, and fluctuating growth followed by a decline for manufacturing; 2) The digital economy rises continuously, artificial intelligence exhibits “early stability and late explosion,” and manufacturing declines after fluctuating upward, with its financial stability indicators reflecting transformation-period operational pressures; 3) The systems’ coupling coordination degree advances from extreme imbalance (2013) to high-quality coordination (2023), realizing leapfrog development. Accordingly, this study proposes recommendations to strengthen manufacturing financial stability, accelerate synergistic empowerment of the three systems, and promote differentiated regional development, providing support for BTH integration and “dual carbon” goals.
