Abstract
This study investigates the affiliation between the digitalized economy and carbon release in 282 Chinese urban areas from 2005 to 2019. Fixed effects models, system GMM models, and Spatial Durbin models have been utilized to exploit the consequences of digital economy on carbon release. The findings demonstrate that (1) digital economy appreciably mitigates carbon output and carbon intensity. Moreover, digital economy facilitates eco-friendly technological development and optimizes industrial structure. (2) It exerts a more profound influence on carbon reduction in the middle east region, as opposed to the western region, where economic growth has greater possibilities (3) The effect of the digital economy on reducing carbon dioxide emissions is influenced by valid duration of policies and shows a spatial effect. Drawing on findings, this paper suggests policy recommendations from three key areas: advancing industrial restructuring, fostering technological revolution, and harnessing regional radiation effects of digital economy to bolster its advancement.
