The nexus between digital economy and carbon dioxide emissions in China: The moderating role of investments in research and development

Qiang Ma et al.

Summary: This study examines whether digitalization and research and development investments can help China achieve low carbon growth. The findings suggest that digitalization can reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and research and development investments play a moderating role between digitalization and emissions. Additionally, economic growth, financial development, and energy use contribute to higher carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, the study recommends that the Chinese government enhance research and development investments, integrate digitalization and environmental policies, and green their economic growth, financial development, and energy transition policies.

Environmental decentralization, digital finance and green technology innovation

Suling Feng et al.

Summary: This paper analyzes the impact of digital finance on green technology innovation using panel data from listed companies and cities in China. The results show that digital finance significantly promotes green technology innovation, especially for small-scale enterprises. Digital financial development can better promote green technology innovation in regions with higher pollutant emission intensity and stronger local government governance capacity. Manufacturing and nonstate economic development also contribute to the effectiveness of digital finance in promoting green technology innovation.

The impact of heterogeneous environmental regulations on the technology innovation of urban green energy: a study based on the panel threshold model

Xueying Xu et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the non-linear effects of heterogeneous environmental regulations on green energy technology innovation in China based on panel data from 281 cities from 2011-2019. It finds that environmental regulations have a threshold effect on green energy technology innovation, with heterogeneity in the effects of different regulations. While formal environmental regulation has a significant inhibitory effect on innovation, informal environmental regulation shows a positive relationship. Additionally, regional economic development plays a significant role in moderating the relationship between environmental regulation and innovation, with some heterogeneity between formal and informal regulation.

Energy poverty and subjective well-being in China: New evidence from the China Family Panel Studies

Peng Nie et al.

Summary: Using data from the China Family Panel Studies, this research examines the impact of energy poverty on subjective well-being among Chinese adults aged 18 and over. It reveals that higher levels of depression are associated with energy poverty, and that individual self-reported health and household food expenditure play mediating roles in this relationship. The results are robust across different measurement tools and estimation approaches.
