Data for: Information accessibility, accounting manipulation, and sustainable development of digital enterprises: Based on double moderating effect model and panel PSM-DID method

A theoretical mechanism was analyzed from the micro perspective of the
enterprise to explore how information accessibility moderates the effect
of accounting manipulation on the sustainable development of digital
enterprises. Using data from 1200 listing digital enterprises in China and
the DEA-Malmquist index method, the efficiency value of digital
enterprises in 2007–2021 was estimated to represent the index of
sustainable development of digital enterprises. The accounting
manipulation was detected using the panel PSM-DID method based on the
Administrative Measures for the Recognition of High-tech Enterprise's
policy. The information accessibility value was estimated based on the MDA
method. Empirical studies were conducted using text analysis, the panel
PSM-DID method, and the double moderating effect model. The results showed
that: (1) Accounting manipulation had a negative impact on the sustainable
development of "true" digital enterprises and the
"fake" digital enterprises; (2) Information accessibility
directly and positively enhanced the technological progress and scale
efficiency of digital enterprises, and its moderating effect was
heterogeneous, with a significant moderating effect on the
"true" digital enterprises and a negative effect on the
"fake" ones.
