Does the Development of Digital Economy Optimize the Regional Energy Consumption Structure?——Analysis of Intermediary Effect Based on Green Technology Innovation
The massive consumption of fossil energy is the main reason for pushing up China's carbon emissions.With the proposal of"peak carbon dioxide emissions"and"carbon neutrality",it is urgent to optimize China's energy consumption struc-ture.The digital economy with digital technology as the core has gradually become an important boost to the transformation and up-grading of energy consumption structure.In this paper,the development index of digital economy is constructed by four dimensions of digital economy infrastructure,user scale,innovation environment and industrial scale,and the development level of digital econ-omy in China from 2013 to 2021 is measured,and the influence of digital economy development on energy consumption structure is further explored.The research shows that the development of digital economy can optimize the energy consumption structure;The in-termediary effect test shows that the development of digital economy optimizes the energy consumption structure by promoting the lev-el of green technology innovation;Further analysis shows that this effect is heterogeneous among regions,and the optimization effect of digital economy development on energy consumption structure in the central region is stronger than that in the eastern and western regions.
