Impact of Digital Economy on Carbon Emissions in Sports Goods Manufacturing Industry:Also on the Threshold Effect of Sports Goods Agglomeration
Today,the digital economy has become the engine driving high-quality development in China.This study is based on data from 30 provinces(regions or municipalities)in mainland China from 2011 to 2020,and constructs a panel data model to analyze the interaction between the digital economy,agglomeration of sports goods manufacturing industry,and carbon emissions from sports equipment manufacturing industry.Research has found that:(1)The development of the digital economy has effectively reduced the carbon emissions of the sports goods manufacturing industry;(2)Technological innovation and the development of green finance have a mediating effect on the suppression of carbon emissions in the sports goods manufacturing industry by the digital economy;(3)The digital economy has a spatial spillover effect on the carbon emissions of the sports goods manufacturing industry,with a stronger impact on surrounding provinces compared to the local impact;(4)The agglomeration of sports goods manufacturing industry has a non-linear moderating effect on the inhibitory effect between the digital economy and the carbon emissions of sports goods manufacturing industry.When the agglomeration level of sports goods manufacturing industry is below the threshold value of 0.0934,it is beneficial for the digital economy to suppress the carbon emissions of sports goods manufacturing industry;When exceeding the threshold value,it will weaken the inhibitory effect of the digital economy on carbon emissions from sports equipment manufacturing industry.We should enhance the development level of the digital economy,gradually increase the openness of green finance,encourage technological innovation in the sports equipment manufacturing industry,and implement differentiated strategic layout according to local conditions,in order to provide experience and reference for the low-carbon development of the sports equipment manufacturing industry.
