Digital Economic Development,FDI and Carbon Emission Intensity
Promoting low-carbon economic transformation and building a dual-cycle development pattern are major focus issues that China is facing at present.As an important engine for economic de-velopment,can the digital economy promote low-carbon development?Based on the panel data of 30 provinces from 2011 to 2020,the level of digital economy development is measured from the perspec-tive of input and output,and the Tobit model and threshold model are used to empirically study the impact of digital economy development on carbon emission intensity and the moderating effect of FDI on the above relationship.The results show that the development of digital economy has a significant inhibitory effect on carbon emission intensity,and FDI enhances the carbon reduction effect of digital economy development.There is a single threshold effect on carbon emission intensity between the de-velopment of digital economy and FDI.This paper provides a new analytical perspective for under-standing the carbon emission impact of the digital economy,and also provides policy enlightenment for promoting the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development and building a new development pattern of dual circulation.
