Abstract
China is currently in the process of industrialization, and the excessive consumption of fossil energy results in a significant increase in carbon emissions. With the significant development of information technology and the digital economy, digital finance has gradually become a new model that affects human activities, motivating us to explore the relationship between digital finance and carbon emissions. Based on panel data from 278 cities from 2011 to 2019, this study empirically analyzes the relationship between digital finance and carbon emissions and discusses it in terms of the nonlinearity, regional heterogeneity, and spatial spillover effects. We find empirical evidence indicating that digital finance can mitigate regional carbon emissions. Finally, we propose some relevant suggestions for promoting sustainable and healthy development of digital finance, and achieving carbon emissions reduction.
