Note(s): This table presents the regression results of the spillover effect of capacity utilization on enterprise digital development. The dependent variable is capacity utilization (CU). The key independent variables are peer firms’ or supply-chain firms’ digital development, Peer_DigitalW (Peer_DigitalS) and Supplychain_DigitalW (Supplychain_DigitalS). Focal firms’ digital development proxies are 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 1 and 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
