The impact and transmission mechanism of China's urban digital economy on carbon emissions in the logistics industry
Based on the analysis of the mechanism of the impact of digital economy on carbon emissions in the logistics industry,based on the data of 278 cities at the prefecture level and above in China from 2011 to 2021,the impact of the digital economy on the carbon emissions of the logistics industry was empirically tested by nonlinear regression model and quintile regression model.The results show that there is a U-shaped relationship between the digital economy and the carbon emissions of the logistics industry,and it is currently in the upper half of the U-shape.The mechanism test shows that the digital economy significantly reduces the carbon emissions of the logistics industry mainly through two paths:technological innovation and factor allocation efficiency improvement,and at the same time,there is a spatial spillover effect on the carbon emissions of the logistics industry,and there is heterogeneity of the city's own scale and resource endowment.Further analysis shows that the development of digital economy has a significant inhibitory and evolutionary effect on the carbon emissions of the logistics industry,and with the increase of quintiles,the marginal impact of the development of digital economy on the carbon emission reduction of the logistics industry decreases.
