Research on the spatial effect of digital economy development on urban carbon reduction.

Cities are one of the main sources of regional carbon emissions, and reducing urban carbon emission is the key to reducing emissions. The digital economy has transformed the economic operation mode, and it is a significant approach to support the "dual carbon goals" (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality). This article considers the externalities of the digital economy and carbon emissions. And we use spatial econometric models to analyze the effectiveness of digital economy in empowering carbon emissions reduction. Besides, we explore the static and dynamic spillover effects, and use spatial Durbin panel quantile model to analyze the digital economy's heterogeneity on carbon emissions. Research has shown that the digital economy has a remarkable carbon reduction effect, and the conclusion remains valid after considering robustness tests such as replacing the weight matrices, calculation methods, and proxy variables. The analysis of static and dynamic spillover effects indicates that the degree of the digital economy's impact on carbon emissions are significantly different. Heterogeneity analysis shows that as the digital economy develops from a low level to a high level, its impact on carbon emissions also shifts from positive promotion to negative suppression. This paper proposes a policy reference to help the development of digital economy and promote carbon neutrality in the face of severe environmental challenges.

Regional Economic Statistics and Green Development: Ecological Thinking for Environmental Quality Development.

Through more than 40 years of China's reform and opening up, China's economic development has exceeded the "surprise of China". China's annual average growth rate for world economic development ranks second in the world. By 2020, the article has achieved all-round poverty eradication and overall happiness. By 2020, this article will write an epic antipandemic with great love. During the "fourteenth five-year plan" period, China has entered a new stage of high-quality social and economic development, but environmental pollution is still one of the primary obstacles to high-quality social and economic development. Because of its diversity, environmental pollution cannot be reasonably handled only by the market economic system. It also needs to be based on the effectiveness of the natural environment supervision policies of government departments. At the same time, the healthy logical thinking of the development trend of high-quality natural environment is the key to regional economic statistics and the concept of green development. In this paper, empirical research and analysis methods are used, and the description is carried out in the form of data charts.

Has the Digital Economy Reduced Carbon Emissions?: Analysis Based on Panel Data of 278 Cities in China.

China is undergoing an urbanization process at an unprecedented scale, and low-carbon urban development is of great significance to the completion of the "dual carbon goals". At the same time, the digital economy has become an important engine for urban development, and its role in environmental improvement has become increasingly prominent. While the digital economy is booming, can it promote the low-carbon development of cities? Based on the panel data of 278 cities in China from 2011 to 2019, this paper discusses the impact of the digital economy on carbon emissions and the long-term development trend between the digital economy and carbon emissions, the impact of differences in the development level of the digital economy on carbon emissions reduction, and the impact of green energy efficiency in the relationship between the digital economy and carbon emissions. The results show that the digital economy has a significant inhibitory effect on carbon emissions, and with the development of the digital economy, more and more cities show an absolute decoupling of the digital economy and carbon emissions and are turning to low-carbon development. The development level of the digital economy has a heterogeneous impact on carbon emissions. With the improvement of the development level of the digital economy, the effect on emission reduction is more significant. As a threshold variable, green energy efficiency affects the relationship between digital economy and carbon emissions. When green energy efficiency is low, the digital economy promotes carbon emissions, and when green energy efficiency is high, the digital economy reduces carbon emissions.

Effects of the Digital Economy on Carbon Emissions: Evidence from China.

In order to reduce carbon emissions for sustainable development, we analyzed the impact of China's digital economy development on carbon emissions. Based on the panel data of 30 Chinese provinces from 2009 to 2019, we measured the level of development of China's digital economy using the entropy method. The relationship between the digital economy and carbon emissions was analyzed from multiple perspectives with the help of the fixed-effects model, the mediated-effects model and the spatial econometric model. The results indicate that the digital economy plays a significant inhibitory role in carbon emissions. In addition, the digital economy inhibits carbon emissions through the innovation effect and the industrial structure upgrading effect. Moreover, the digital economy exhibits a significant spatial spillover effect in dampening carbon emissions. Finally, there is regional heterogeneity in the direct and spatial spillover effect. The findings provide a basis for the digital economy to contribute to carbon emissions reduction and provide relevant policy references for achieving carbon neutrality and sustainable development.
