With respect to total emissions, the proportion of household carbon emissions exhibits an upward trend;therefore, to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy efficiency, researchers should understand the reasonsfor the increase in household carbon emissions. This study, which is based on the construction of the “BroadbandChina” demonstration cities and the 2010–2018 China Family Panel Studies, applies a difference-in-differencesmethod. It identifies the impact of digital infrastructure construction on indirect household energy consumption,carbon emissions, and energy efficiency. The estimation results indicate that digital infrastructure constructionsignificantly enhances household energy consumption and carbon emissions, and that it enhances the householdenergy efficiency pertaining to household carbon emissions and usage. Furthermore, the results indicate thathouseholds mainly enhance energy usage and efficiency by increasing developmental consumption. Additionally,this study noted that digital infrastructure construction affects household energy consumption and efficiencythrough the development of the consumer Internet and industrial Internet, which reshapes household consumptionbehavior and promotes the producers' technological progress.
