How does digital technology promote carbon emission reduction? Empirical evidence based on e-commerce pilot city policy in China

Hui Wang et al.

Summary: This study finds that the e-commerce pilot policy in China has significantly reduced carbon emissions, with a greater effect observed in non-traditional industrial cities and non-resource-based cities. The implementation of this policy mainly reduces urban carbon emissions through optimizing resource allocation, reducing energy consumption, and upgrading the industrial structure. Additionally, it has a significant positive carbon-reducing linkage effect with the carbon trading pilot policy and the low-carbon city pilot policy.

Economic policy uncertainty and dynamic correlations in energy markets: Assessment and solutions

Xiong Wang et al.

Summary: The objective of this study is to investigate the dynamic correlations among energy, clean energy, crude oil, and carbon markets using a DCC-MIDAS specification, and to examine the impact of Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) on cross-asset correlations under different market conditions using the Quantile-on-Quantile (QQ) technique. The study also compares the hedging potential and diversification performance of these energy sources in an uncertain context. The findings suggest that the correlations among the four markets have time-varying characteristics, influenced by random events, and EPU has an asymmetrical and often positive impact on energy cross-market linkages.

Quantifying the impacts of industrial convergence on air pollution: a quasi-experimental analysis of evidence from China's Triple Play reform

Zhihao Yang et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of industrial convergence on air pollution in China using panel data at the city level from 2004 to 2016. The results show that the Triple Play reform (TPR) significantly alleviates air pollution by improving green technological innovation and industrial structural upgrading. However, the impact of TPR on air pollution is more remarkable in southern, coastal, non-resource-based cities with higher technological absorption capacity, and less significant in northern, inland, resource-based cities with lower technological absorption capacity.

Can digital financial inclusion affect CO2 emissions of China at the prefecture level? Evidence from a spatial econometric approach

Xiong Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of digital financial inclusion on CO2 emissions in 284 prefecture-level cities in China using a spatial econometric model. The results show that digital financial inclusion has a positive impact on CO2 emissions in local cities, but a negative impact on neighboring cities. Additionally, the breadth of coverage and depth of use are significantly correlated with CO2 emissions. The study also confirms that digital financial inclusion influences city-level CO2 emissions through industrial structure and economic growth.

Climate policy uncertainty and firm-level total factor productivity: Evidence from China

Xiaohang Ren et al.

Summary: Using data from 2605 Chinese A-share listed companies, this study finds that climate policy uncertainty has a negative impact on firm-level total factor productivity (TFP), especially for low-productivity, non-state-owned, labor-intensive, and capital-intensive firms. Furthermore, climate policy uncertainty hinders research and development investment and reduces free cash flow. The findings emphasize the importance of introducing forward-looking climate policies to mitigate the negative impact of policy uncertainty.
