How will promoting the digital economy affect electricity intensity?

Boqiang Lin et al.

Summary: The digital economy plays a crucial role in transforming economic and social development and has a diverse impact on carbon neutrality. However, the relationship between digitalization and electricity intensity remains unclear and debatable. This study fills the gap by measuring the level of the digital economy in 227 Chinese cities from 2011 to 2019 and investigating the nonlinear effects and mechanisms of the digital economy on electricity intensity using the panel smooth transition model. The findings show that the digital economy promotes electricity intensity with an inverted U-shaped effect, indicating that it increases electricity intensity through infrastructure development and electronic item usage while reducing it through changes in consumption and technological advancements. This study provides valuable insights and improves understanding regarding the correlation between the digital economy and electricity intensity.

Digital transformation and firm cost stickiness: Evidence from China

Yufeng Chen et al.

Summary: Digital transformation is increasingly important in business decision-making. This paper investigates the impact of digital transformation on cost stickiness using data from Chinese listed companies between 2011 and 2020. The empirical results show that digital transformation can significantly reduce cost stickiness by lowering adjustment costs and management optimistic expectations, and this inhibiting effect persists. Additionally, digital transformation has a stronger inhibiting effect on non-state-owned firms and material resource cost stickiness. This paper provides a new perspective on how cost reduction promotes the deep integration of digital and real economies.

Digital financial inclusion and carbon neutrality: Evidence from non-linear analysis

Chien -Chiang Lee et al.

Summary: This research analyzes the impact of digital financial inclusion on carbon neutrality and finds that it has a non-linear influence on carbon intensity and carbon sequestration. The marginal impact of digital financial inclusion on carbon intensity decreases first and then increases, while the marginal impact on carbon sequestration keeps decreasing. Digital financial inclusion promotes the reduction of carbon intensity by increasing per capita disposable income and digitization, and promotes the increase of carbon sequestration through green space and green technology.
