Research on the impact mechanism of digital economy on China's industrial energy efficiency and regional heterogeneity:an empirical analysis based on 30 provincial panel data from 2012 to 2020
In order to explore the relationship between digital economy and industrial energy efficiency,a bi-directional panel fixed effect model was used to conduct an empirical test based on data from 30 provincial levels in China from 2012 to 2020.The results show that:the digital economy significantly improves the energy efficiency of Chinese industry;Digital economy indirectly improves industrial energy efficiency through rationalization and upgrading of industrial structure;The impact of the digital economy on industrial energy efficiency has regional heterogeneity.The research conclusion provides reference for the policy design of the government to develop the industrial digital economy,strengthen the construction of digital technology talent team,and explore ways to improve energy efficiency.
