Research on the Impact of Digital Economy on Industrial Carbon Emission Intensity
By employing theoretical and empirical analysis methods,this study examines the data on industrial carbon emission intensity of 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2021.It also explores the impact of the digital economy on industrial carbon emission intensity and its potential mechanism.The findings indicate that the advancement of the digital economy significantly reduces the intensity of industrial carbon emissions.This conclusion remains robust even after conducting tests such as replacing the explained variable and shortening the sample time range.Furthermore,scientific and technological innovation,as a moderating variable,further amplifies the positive impact of the digital economy on reducing industrial carbon emission intensity.This study not only enhances our theoretical and practical understanding of digital economy and carbon emissions but also holds significant value in promoting green industry transformation and achieving carbon emission reduction goals.
