Mechanism and spatial spillover effect of the digital economy on carbon emission efficiency in Chinese provinces by Yifen Xia, Yuanzhuo Wu, Yilin Qin, Chun Fu

“…Five findings are elicited: (1) Spatiotemporal distribution differences exist between digital economy level and carbon emission efficiency. (2) The digital economy effectively enhances carbon emission efficiency, a result that remains robust after endogenous and robustness tests. (3) Significant spatial spillover effects are observed, where improvements in the digital economy enhance carbon emission efficiency in neighboring areas. (4) The impact of the digital economy is more pronounced in eastern and high digital development regions but weaker in the northeastern and low digital development areas. (5) The main pathways through which the digital economy influences carbon emission efficiency are industrial structure upgrading, energy structure optimization, and green technological innovation. …”
