City size heterogeneity test results.

The rapid advancement of digital technology and its widespread application have led to digitalization, personalization, and customization in the demand side of China’s economy. Enhancing industrial resilience through new types of consumption is of great practical significance for expanding domestic demand and promoting high-quality, sustainable economic growth in China. This study examines the impact of the Information Consumption Pilot City (ICPC) policy as a quasi-natural experiment on urban industrial resilience, employing the difference-in-difference (DID) method for empirical analysis. The findings reveal that the ICPC policy significantly enhances the level of urban industrial resilience. Heterogeneity tests indicate that this enhancement effect is particularly pronounced in eastern, central, and larger urban regions. Furthermore, the ICPC policy primarily strengthens urban industrial resilience through three mechanisms: information development, entrepreneurial agglomeration, and digital financial effects. This study contributes to the literature on new consumption and urban industrial resilience in the digital economy, evaluates the economic impacts of pilot policies on information consumption, and offers valuable implications for policymakers.数字技术的飞速发展与普及应用，推动中国经济需求侧形成数字化、个性化与定制化的发展趋势。通过新型消费提升工业韧性（industrial resilience），对于扩大内需、推动中国经济高质量可持续发展具有重要现实意义。本研究将信息消费示范城市（Information Consumption Pilot City，ICPC）政策视作准自然实验，采用双重差分法（difference-in-difference，DID）开展实证分析，考察其对城市工业韧性的影响效应。研究结果表明，ICPC政策能够显著提升城市工业韧性水平。异质性检验结果显示，该提升效应在东部、中部以及大型城市地区尤为显著。进一步研究发现，ICPC政策主要通过三大作用机制强化城市工业韧性：信息发展效应、创业集聚效应与数字金融效应。本研究丰富了数字经济背景下新型消费与城市工业韧性领域的相关文献，评估了信息消费示范城市试点政策的经济影响，并为政策制定者提供了具有参考价值的政策启示。
