The Mechanism and Effect Measurement of Carbon Emission Reduction in Digital Economy under the"Double Carbon"Constraints
The integration of digital economy and green development will provide new impetus and opportunities for sustainable regional economic and social development.In order to explore how the development of digital economy empowers regional low-carbon green development.Based on the panel data of 30 provinces(municipalities directly under the central government and autonomous regions)in China from 2011 to 2021,we constructed the mediation effect model and spatial econometric model to empirically explore the relationship between digital economy and regional green development.The results show that:(1)the development of digital economy significantly reduces carbon emission intensity.This conclusion still holds after using robustness tests such as lagging explanatory variables by one period and shortening the sample period.(2)The digital economy can indirectly empower regional green development through green process innovation,industrial structure rationalization and industrial advancement.(3)There is a significant spatial autocorrelation between the development of digital economy and carbon emission level in Chinese provinces;there is a positive spatial correlation between provinces and spatial aggregation;the development of digital economy can not only promote local carbon emission reduction to achieve regional green development,but also empower regional green development through spatial spillover effects.
