Abstract Narrowing the gap of total factor productivity in the manufacturing industry is an important part of promoting regional coordinated development and high-quality development of regional manufacturing. The R&D and application of digital technology not only provide an important impetus for the growth of total factor productivity in the manufacturing industry, but also affect the gap of total factor productivity in China’s regional manufacturing industry. Based on the provincial panel data of China from 2014 to 2022, with the theory of appropriate technological progress and technology diffusion as the core, this paper systematically analyzes the impact of digital technology spatial spillover on the total factor productivity gap of the regional manufacturing industry, and discusses the impact of the two constraints of digital economy development level and scientific and technological resource endowment on the relationship between digital technology and the total factor productivity gap of the manufacturing industry. The results show that, from an overall perspective, the development of digital technology is conducive to narrowing the gap of regional manufacturing total factor productivity, and the spatial spillover of digital technology accelerates the convergence of manufacturing total factor productivity. From the perspective of mechanism, the backward spatial spillover of digital technology contributes more significantly to the reduction of regional total factor productivity gap than the forward spillover. When the level of digital technology is relatively high, digital technology narrows the total factor productivity gap of the provincial manufacturing industry through technology diffusion; when the level of digital technology is relatively low, digital technology expands the total factor productivity gap of the provincial manufacturing industry through technology diffusion; when regional innovation factor endowments are similar, digital technology contributes more to the narrowing of regional manufacturing total factor productivity gap through technology diffusion.

Key words： digital technology technology diffusion spatial spillover regional manufacturing total factor productivity gap spatial conditional convergence
