  Third, while this research focuses on the unidirectional driving effect of the digital economy on the innovation capacity of cultural and tourism integration—and addresses potential endogeneity via instrumental variable estimation—the possible bidirectional interplay between the two remains insufficiently examined. For megacities, however, a more cautious approach is warranted: authorities should prudently assess the marginal effects of the digital economy, optimize the allocation efficiency of digital resources within the cultural and tourism sectors, and guard against resource crowding-out and diminishing 3⃝ Prioritize the cultivation of digital marginal returns caused by excessive investment.
