“…The overall conclusion shows that the hypothesis about Kuznets also occurs in the context of digital economic activity. This is similar to the conclusion of Meng and Zhao (2022). Next, this paper will further discuss the internal mechanism of the impact of digital village construction on carbon emission.…”

“…On the one hand, some scholars believe that the digital economy can achieve the goal of reducing carbon emissions by improving the energy structure (Li et al 2021). Moreover, the carbon emission reduction effect of digital economic activities shows heterogeneity with the change in the economic circle, and there is a spatial spillover effect (Meng and Zhao 2022). The intervention of digital elements can not only promote the transformation of industrial development to green and low-carbon but also effectively solve technical problems such as emission monitoring (Rajkumar et al 2017).…”

Taking 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020 as a research sample, this paper empirically tests the impact of digital village construction on carbon emissions. This study found that there is an "inverted U" curve relationship between digital rural construction and rural carbon emissions. Agricultural planting structure and agricultural technical efficiency are important ways for digital village construction to produce carbon emission reduction effects. This study also found that the higher the level of economic development, the stronger the carbon emission reduction effect of digital village construction. In addition, there are also significant differences in the carbon emission reduction effect of digital village construction in regions with different environmental regulation intensities. Finally, in terms of the relationship between digital economic activities and carbon emission reduction, the research conclusions of this paper have important implications.

“…Rapid industrialization and urbanization have increased social production significantly since China's reform and opening up, but they have also shown a severe influence on the ecological environment, creating more serious ecological environmental issues in China. The digital economy is a crucial tool for easing present environmental and resource pressure (Meng and Zhao, 2022). The Chinese government made it very apparent that the country's and its citizens' way of life depends on the ecological environment.…”

With the huge dividends released by the vigorous development of the digital economy, China urgently demand a major strategic transformation from extensive development to green development. The 14th five-year plan period will require China’s green development to firmly create new advantages in the growth of the digital economy. In order to investigate the impact of the digital economy on the green economy, this paper has utilized a panel data model to analyze data from 30 Chinese provinces between 2015 and 2020. Findings from the research have suggested that the digital economy is helpful for advancing the green economy, with the Eastern region having a bigger influence than the central region and the center region having a greater influence than the Western region. Industrial structure and technological innovation are important channels for digital economy to promote green development. According to the aforementioned conclusion, we have proposed the following suggestion: China should actively advance the digital economy, encourage regional coordination in growth, continuously improve the industrial structure and boost technical innovation.

“…At the same time, the digital economy itself relies on network infrastructure and information tools, such as smart machines, which break the limitations of time and space through information technology and internet mode, giving human beings the ability to process big data and continuously disseminate a large amount of information. The development of this ability relies on continuous technological innovation and research and development, so there are financial thresholds as well as technical thresholds in the digital economy for

development [ 42 , 43 , 44 ]. On the other hand, the digital economy can be deeply integrated into all walks of life by upgrading and positively impacting the transformation of the industrial structure [ 45 , 46 ].…”

In the context of the “double cycle,” promoting the development of a green economy is an important goal for China’s high-quality economic development in the digital age. This paper uses data from 30 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) in China during the 2006–2019 period using the Compiled Green Finance Index (GF) and Digital Economy Index (DE). The interrelationship between green finance, digital economy and green total factor productivity (GTFP) is empirically tested by conducting multiple regressions on panel data from 2006–2019 to perform an empirical analysis. Based on this, further analysis was performed with the threshold model. This study found that green finance and digital economy can contribute well to green total factor productivity, but the combination of the two does not have a good effect on green total factor productivity. Further study found that the green finance and digital economy’s contribution to green total factor productivity is mainly derived from technological progress. The regression results based on the panel threshold model show that the more underdeveloped the digital economy is in certain regions, the stronger the role of green finance in promoting efficiency improvement. Therefore, policymakers should formulate differentiated green financial policies according to the level of development of the digital economy and give play to the role of green finance and the digital economy in promoting green total factor productivity.
