Two-Way FDI assists agricultural sustainable development: Based on digitalization and greening perspectives.

ABSTRACT: With the new challenges and crises facing agriculture, digitalization and green transformation have become important ways to solve the problems. This paper uses an international economics perspective to chart a new path for sustainable agricultural development. Specifically, it analyzes whether two-way international direct investment (FDI) can facilitate agricultural digital-green fusion(DGF)? Using a sample of 31 provinces (autonomous regions) from 2012 to 2021, this study finds: (1) Two-way FDI can significantly contribute to agriculture's DGF. (2) In the mechanism test, it is proved that two-way FDI can promote agriculture's DGF level by promoting green technology innovation capacity and overall regional technology innovation capacity. (3) The positive effects of two-way FDI are prominent in the eastern and central regions, coastal regions, and economically developed areas. (4) In the spatial Durbin model, the local two-way FDI growth improves agriculture's DGF level in the surrounding areas to a certain extent. The government is advised to prioritize openness, foster an environment for technological innovation, leverage spatial radiation for agricultural DGF, and advance digitally empowered agricultural modernization.

Project description:BackgroundDigitalization in the healthcare sector offers several organizational advantages, ranging from enhanced service quality to cost savings. However, its adoption often progresses slowly and faces challenges, especially in critical settings like emergency departments, requiring prompt, clear, and efficient communication. As such, this study aims to comprehensively assess the factors influencing the preference for digitalized tools over traditional methods from the perspectives of both service providers and users.MethodsWe employ two ad hoc stated preference surveys in which we ask respondents to reveal their preference in simulated triage scenarios. Three main alternatives are proposed: traditional procedures, a fully digitalized solution with no direct patient-professional interaction, and a hybrid option that combines traditional and digital aspects. Scenarios and alternatives vary according to predetermined attributes, selected among the features acknowledged to impact the triage efficiency and efficacy: the possibility to communicate in a known language, the completeness of information retrieved from the patient, the time dedicated to triage activity, and the level of privacy. Responses are analyzed by means of discrete choice models.ResultsOur findings reveal a preference for the hybrid approach, wherein patients use digital tools to input relevant information, followed by an interview with healthcare professionals. Nevertheless, distinct alternative- and case-specific features can favor the preference toward other kinds of triage. Respondents prefer shorter triage times and the opportunity to interact in a known language, while the level of privacy does not significantly impact their choices. Interestingly, the presence of an algorithm assigning urgency code diminishes the probability that healthcare professionals select the fully digitalized option.ConclusionsThis study provides important insight into the utilization of digital tools in emergency departments. The results can be used by hospital managers and policy makers to develop digital tools that meet the needs of both users and healthcare professionals. This, in turn, may result in cost savings and improved quality of service.
