Research on the Influence Mechanism and Spatial Spillover Effect of Information Consumption Pilot Policy on Improving Urban Carbon Productivity of Cities
In the context of weak consumption growth and the increasingly urgent goal of"double carbon",how information consumption enables the low-carbon transformation of the economy to achieve high-quality development is an important issue that needs to be solved.This paper takes the information consumption pilot policy as a quasi-natural experiment,and explores the impact mechanism and the spatial spillover effect of information consumption on urban carbon productivity,based on the panel data of Chinese cities from 2006 to 2021.The study finds that the information consumption pilot policy significantly improves carbon productivity,and this conclusion holds true after the endogeneity problem treatment and a series of robustness tests.Mechanism analysis shows that the pilot policy of information consumption can promote carbon productivity by promoting specialized agglomeration of producer services,restraining diversified agglomeration of producer services and promoting green technology innovation.In addition,the carbon productivity enhancing effects of information consumption pilot policy vary depending on city location,whether the city is within urban agglomerations,information infrastructure and digital financial inclusion development.Further research shows that the impact of information consumption pilot policy on carbon productivity has a positive spatial spillover effect,and the spillover boundary is 100-800 km away from the pilot cities.This paper provides theoretical support and empirical evidence for how to achieve synergy between economic growth and carbon emission reduction by promoting information consumption.
