Assessing the impact of digital financial inclusion on PM2.5 concentration: evidence from China

Lu Yang et al.

Summary: Digital finance, as a new technology-driven business model, shortens the distance between borrowers and lenders, promoting economic efficiency by reducing transaction costs, information asymmetry, and inequality. However, the industry is energy-intensive and can damage the environment, although it has been shown to reduce pollution when its development exceeds a certain level. This indicates that high levels of digital finance not only increase economic growth but also improve air quality, providing novel insight into the relationship between economic growth and the environment.

Idiosyncratic information spillover and connectedness network between the electricity and carbon markets in Europe

Lu Yang

Summary: This study investigates the information spillover mechanism between the electricity and carbon markets in Europe, focusing on the roles of peak-valley prices and idiosyncratic factors. The findings show that electricity demand plays a crucial role in the idiosyncratic information spillover channel, and the German and Austrian electricity market operators dominate the system, while the carbon market is the net information receiver. The EU-ETS is effective in promoting the integration of the European electricity market and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The adoption of the clean energy for all Europeans package further contributes to the integration of the European internal electricity markets.
