Study on the Impact of Urban E-commerce Transformation on Carbon Emissions——From the Perspective of Technological Innovation Value Chain
Based on the panel data of 282 prefecture-level cities in China from 2009 to 2019,this paper explores the net effect of e-commerce demonstration city construction on carbon emissions by using multi-stage difference-difference method.The results show that the construction of e-commerce demonstration city significantly promotes urban carbon emission reduction;Technological innovation can curb urban carbon emis-sions,and both the technological innovation stage and the research and development transformation stage of technological innovation can effectively curb carbon emissions;The positive effect on urban carbon emission re-duction is more significant in the samples of non-resource-based cities,and is more effective for western and central cities.It is suggested that carbon emission reduction should be promoted according to local conditions,and the application of green technology in the field of e-commerce should be promoted.
