Abstract
The digital economy not only drives economic growth but also supports green development, creating new opportunities for enterprises to excel in high-quality green exports. Initially, we constructed a theoretical model to assess how the digital economy influences the export quality of green products. Subsequently, we conducted empirical analyses to examine its impact and the mechanisms underlying factor allocation. Our findings underscore that the digital economy significantly aids enterprises in enhancing the export quality of green products. This positive impact primarily arises from the optimized allocation of capital, labor, and technology. Furthermore, through its effects on product entry and exit dynamics, the digital economy effectively identifies and promotes high-quality products while filtering out inferior ones. Consequently, there is an overall improvement in the export quality of green products. This study provides new empirical evidence on how the digital economy fosters the enhancement of green product quality. It contributes to the literature on the influence of digital technologies on green development and offers practical recommendations for advancing green trade.

Research in International Business and Finance (RIBAF) seeks to consolidate its position as a premier scholarly vehicle of academic finance. The Journal publishes high quality, insightful, well-written papers that explore current and new issues in international finance. Papers that foster dialogue, innovation, and intellectual risk-taking in financial studies; as well as shed light on the interaction between finance and broader societal concerns are particularly appreciated. The Journal welcomes submissions that seek to expand the boundaries of academic finance and otherwise challenge the discipline. Papers studying finance using a variety of methodologies; as well as interdisciplinary studies will be considered for publication. Papers that examine topical issues using extensive international data sets are welcome. Single-country studies can also be considered for publication provided that they develop novel methodological and theoretical approaches or fall within the Journal''s priority themes. It is especially important that single-country studies communicate to the reader why the particular chosen country is especially relevant to the issue being investigated. [...] The scope of topics that are most interesting to RIBAF readers include the following: -Financial markets and institutions -Financial practices and sustainability -The impact of national culture on finance -The impact of formal and informal institutions on finance -Privatizations, public financing, and nonprofit issues in finance -Interdisciplinary financial studies -Finance and international development -International financial crises and regulation -Financialization studies -International financial integration and architecture -Behavioral aspects in finance -Consumer finance -Methodologies and conceptualization issues related to finance
