Enterprise Digital Transformation,Carbon Emissions and Supply Chain Spillovers
The green and low-carbon transformation of the supply chain is very important for China to achieve the"dual-carbon"goal,upgrade the modernization of the supply chain,and promote high-quality development.The"dual-carbon"goal is faced with challenges such as large emission reduction,heavy transformation tasks,tight time window,and constraints on core technologies.At present,digital empowerment in green and low-carbon transformation is becoming increasingly prominent.Under the new round of technological revolution and industrial change,the study of the carbon reduction effect of enterprise digital transformation and the supply chain spillover has important practical guidance significance and economic and social value.Compared with previous studies,this paper examines the impact of enterprise digital transformation on the carbon emissions of its upstream and downstream enterprises from the perspective of the supply chain network,deepens the analysis of the mechanism of the carbon reduction effect,and enriches the study of the impact of enterprise digital transformation on direct and indirect carbon emissions.This paper utilizes the three-level supply chain network database of listed companies from 2008 to 2016 to conduct empirical research,and finds that the digital transformation of enterprises can significantly inhibit their carbon emissions,with a significant forward spillover carbon reduction effect.Mechanism analysis shows that enterprise digital transformation achieves carbon reduction by improving enterprise green technology innovation and total factor productivity(TFP).Enterprise digital transformation leads to carbon emission reduction in downstream enterprises by improving their TFP.Further research shows that the carbon reduction effect of digital transformation on direct carbon emissions is partially offset by the carbon increase effect of power consumption,although this offsetting effect does not significantly spill over to downstream enterprises.The results of this paper suggest that the continuous promotion of enterprise digital transformation helps realize the carbon reduction effect of digital transformation.In the steady and orderly promotion of"double carbon",it is necessary to outline the effectiveness and blockage of the carbon reduction effect of digital transformation in the supply chain network as a whole,optimize and focus on the direction and priorities of digital transformation,and form the momentum of carbon reduction.In addition,the enterprise digital transformation puts forward new requirements for the cleaner and greener transformation of energy and power structures.Therefore,promoting the transformation of clean energy and power structure to meet the demand for clean power in enterprise digitalization can effectively reduce indirect carbon emissions.The findings can provide policy references and practical support for upgrading the modernization of the industrial chain and supply chain.
