摘要/Abstract

摘要： 数字经济与绿色经济是引领我国经济实现结构转型的两大重要方向,也将成为推动我国经济高质量、可持续发展的主要动力。数字化助力绿色化大有可为，但数字化转型过程伴随的能源消耗和碳排放问题也不容小觑。基于2012—2022年中国30个省、自治区、直辖市的省级面板数据，测度了数字化水平与绿色经济发展水平，并厘清数字化水平对绿色经济发展的作用机制和影响因素。研究表明：1）数字经济与绿色经济发展之间呈非线性的正“U”型关系，数字经济在发展的初期会对绿色经济产生负面影响, 但在发展中后期,数字经济能够促进绿色经济发展，这一结论经过一系列稳健性检验后仍然成立；2）在区域异质性方面，数字经济与绿色经济发展的正“U”型关系在北方地区表现显著，在南方地区则不明显；3）数字经济发展过程中，碳排放强度降低、电能消耗结构优化、居民收入水平提高间接对绿色经济产生正向作用；4）环境规制、绿色技术创新对数字经济与绿色经济发展的正“U”型关系具有显著的调节作用。在研究结果基础上，提出如下政策建议：政府需加强对绿色数字基础设施建设的支持，鼓励企业发展绿色能源和节能技术，并制定长期规划以促进数字经济与绿色经济的融合；应普及智能电网和能源管理系统的应用，以提高能源利用效率，加强碳排放监管，实现经济和环境效益的双赢；发展数字经济，创造高质量就业机会，提升居民收入，并完善收入分配制度，促进绿色消费；鼓励绿色技术创新活动，呼吁企业将绿色技术广泛应用到绿色生产经营活动中，并落实环境治理法规，进一步促进绿色经济的发展。

关键词: 数字化水平, 绿色经济发展, “U”型关系, 碳强度, 电能消耗

Abstract: Digital economy and green economy are two main directions leading China's economy to structural transformation, and also major drives to China's high-quality economy and sustainable development. Digitalization helps green economy a lot, but its accompanying energy consumption and carbon emission are still issues. This paper, based on panel data of China's 30 provinces, municipalities and prefectures from 2012 to 2022, measures their digitalization and green economic development levels, and reveals the mechanism and factors of digitalization level on green economic development. Digital economy shows a non-linear U-shaped relationship with green economic development, negatively affecting green economic development at the initial stage but positively in later stages, which has been validated through robustness test. The U-shaped relationship is remarkable in northern China, but not in the south. During the development of digital economy, reduced carbon emission intensity, optimized electricity consuming structure, and increased residents' income indirectly play a positive role to green economy. Environmental regulations and green technical innovation play a significant adjusting role in the U-shaped relationship. This paper presents suggestions on boosting governmental supports for green digital infrastructural construction, encouraging firms to develop green and power-saving technologies, and planning to integrate digital economy into green economy, widely applying smart grid and energy management system to increase energy use efficiency, intensifying carbon emission supervision to reach mutual benefits in economy and environment, developing digital economy to create high-quality employment, increasing residents' income to promote green consumption, stimulating green technical innovation and application, and implementing environmental laws and regulations to drive green economy

Key words: digitalization level, green economic development, U-shaped relationship, carbon intensity, electricity consumption
