The Impact of Digital Economy on Carbon Emissions:Based on the Threshold Effect of Technological Innovation Efficiency
The introduction of the goal of＂carbon peaking and carbon neutrality＂has sparked significant inter-est across various sectors in how to address the issue of carbon emissions.The digital economy is quickly evolving as a new economic structure,and digital technology plays a crucial role in decreasing carbon emissions.This study focuses on Inner Mongolia,examining the effectiveness of the digital economy on carbon emissions from 2010-2019 using the benchmark regression model and panel threshold model.Research shows that the advancement of the digital economy significantly boosts carbon emissions;this boost is influenced by the efficacy of scientific and technological innovations,but gradually diminishes over time;additionally,the impact of the digital economy on carbon emissions varies greatly across different regions.Therefore,this study speeds up the understanding of how the digital economy hinders carbon emissions by hastening the development of digital infrastructure,improving the upgrading of digital infrastructure,boosting investment in science and technology innovation in Inner Mongolia,strengthening the research and development of digital technology,focusing on the research and development and use of low-carbon energy and upgrading the technology of carbon capture,as well as paying attention to the regional heterogeneity,and implementing the strategy of differentiating the development of digital economy.
