Study on the Influence of Digital Economy Development on Carbon Emission in the Yellow River Basin
Selecting the data of 75 prefecture-level cities in the Yellow River Basin of China from 2010 to 2020,this paper empirically analyzed the impact of digital economy development on carbon emissions in the Yellow River Basin by using the fixed effect model.The results show that the impact of digital economy devel-opment on carbon emissions in the Yellow River Basin generally presents an inverted U-shaped nonlinear re-lationship of first promotion and then inhibition.Heterogeneity analysis shows that digital economy develop-ment has a significant inverted U-shaped nonlinear relationship on carbon emissions of big cities and provin-cial capitals in the Yellow River Basin.Mechanism analysis shows that the development of digital economy can significantly inhibit carbon emissions in the Yellow River Basin by promoting economic development and ur-banization.
