How does internet development affect energy-saving and emission reduction? Evidence from China

Haitao Wu et al.

Summary: The study finds that the development of the internet significantly promotes energy saving and emission reduction efficiency, which can be improved through technological progress, energy structure, human capital, and openness. It also has a significantly positive spatial spillover effect on the energy saving and emission reduction efficiency of adjacent areas, which still exists under different distances.

Will researching digital technology really empower green development?

Lei Wang et al.

Summary: Technology innovation in the information industry can increase carbon emissions intensity, but cross-industry technology spillovers have a persistent role in reducing domestic carbon emissions intensity, empowering domestic green development with digital technology. Increasing the proportion of non-fossil energy use and optimizing industrial structure are effective mechanisms for digital technology innovation to reduce carbon emissions.

Does internet development improve green total factor energy efficiency? Evidence from China

Haitao Wu et al.

Summary: The study shows that internet development can directly improve local GTFEE and enhance GTFEE in neighboring regions. It can also indirectly improve regional GTFEE by reducing resource mismatch, enhancing innovation capabilities, and promoting industrial structure upgrades. Furthermore, the impact of internet development on GTFEE is influenced by a nonlinear relationship, with the effect gradually increasing with improved regional innovation capabilities and industrial structure.

The relationship between technological innovation and green transformation efficiency in China: An empirical analysis using spatial panel data

Xueqi Zhai et al.

Summary: The study found that technology research and development (TERD) and technology commercialization (TECO) have significant positive effects on green transformation efficiency (GTE) in local provinces, with TERD having a higher impact than TECO. However, TERD has a significantly negative spillover effect on GTE in neighboring provinces, while TECO has a significantly positive spillover effect. Additionally, the interaction between TERD and TECO positively affects GTE but also has a negative spillover effect on GTE.

ICT diffusion and economic growth: Evidence from the sectorial analysis of a periphery country

Rahim Kallal et al.

Summary: This study provides insights into the relationship between ICT diffusion and economic growth in Tunisia through a sectorial analysis. It found that ICT diffusion has a positive long-term effect on Tunisia's economic growth, but a negative short-term effect due to investment bias. These findings have important implications for investors and policymakers, with the sectorial index helping investors identify high potential growth sectors post-ICT improvement. The analysis can also serve as a dashboard for policymakers to promote ICT growth across sectors.
