Based on the data of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share industrial enterprises from 2013 to 2022 and combined with China's city-level macro indicators,this paper studies the mechanism of the influence of the digital economy on carbon emissions by constructing an intermediary effect model with"enterprise digital transformation-enterprise green innovation"as the chain.The findings are as follows:First,digital economy has significantly restrained carbon emissions of Industrial Enterprises;Second,enterprise digital transformation and enterprise green technology innovation play an intermediary role between digital economy development and enterprise carbon emission;Third,there is a chain intermedi-ary role of"digital economy development-enterprise digital transformation-enterprise green technology-enterprise carbon emission".Further research shows that the promotion of digital economy development on carbon emission reduction is more obvious in non-state-owned enterprises and enterprises in the western region.The government should formulate differentiated digital economy development strategies for different regions,enterprises should strengthen the research and development and application of dig-ital technologies,and promote the low-carbon transformation of industrial enterprises through the con-struction of a digital carbon management system to help achieve the goal of"double carbon".
