Note(s): This table presents the regression results of capacity utilization on enterprise digital development using a PSM sample. Panel A reports the summary statistics of the main variables after matching. Panel B presents the regression results of capacity utilization on enterprise digital development using a PSM sample. The dependent variable is capacity utilization (CU). The key independent variables are enterprise digital development proxies, DigitalW and DigitalS. Control variables include Size, Leverage, ROA, CFO, TFP, Employee, Age, BSize, IndR, SH1, SOE and HHI. Variable definitions are presented in Appendix 2. Continuous variables are winsorized at the 1and 99% levels. Standard errors are all heteroscedastic, robust and clustered at the firm level. ∗, ∗∗ and ∗∗∗ indicate statistical significance at the 10, 5 and 1% levels, respectively, using a two-tailed t-test
