This study investigates the impact of human capital on green growth in China's digital economy. The results show that different levels of education have a positive effect on green growth in the long run. Additionally, renewable energy consumption, internet use, and financial development also contribute to the expansion of green growth in the long term.
In this digitalized world, economies have energetically encouraged green transformation. The empirical findings regarding the nexus between human capital and green growth are relatively inconclusive. The study originally explores the effect of human capital on the green growth of a digital economy like China from 1991 to 2019. To investigate the model empirically, we have applied the ARDL technique. Our results indicate that there is a positive impact of different levels of education on the green growth of China in the long run. Regression results also show that renewable energy consumption, internet use, and financial development lead to expansion in green growth in the long run. Our findings can strengthen the belief of the Chinese government on the advancement of green growth.
