Purpose The main purpose of this study is to examine the effect corporate digital transformation on bond credit spreads. Additionally, it also explores two potential channels, information asymmetry and default risk, through which can influence Design/methodology/approach We use issuance data Chinese listed companies over period 2008–2020. Corporate these measured with textual analysis management discussion part annual reports. employ a panel regression model estimate Findings find robust evidence that higher experience lower further observe spread reduction for firms are smaller, non-state-owned, have ratings less analyst coverage. reduces spreads by reducing between investors enhanced mechanisms lowering risk strengthening operating efficiency. Originality/value To best our knowledge, first attempt understand impact Our findings help firms’ worthiness access capital.

Achieving environmental sustainability has become an urgent priority in the era of rapid digital economic expansion, which presents both opportunities and challenges for sustainable development. This study investigates impact economy (DIE) on (ENS) through dual dimensions industrialization (DII) industrial digitalization (IND), employing wavelet-based quantile-on-quantile regression method to capture quantile dependencies temporal variations. The results reveal that DIE positively impacts ENS long term, while its short-term effects are mixed, with positive at lower higher quantiles but negative mid-range [0.35–0.45] [0.65–0.7]. Specifically, DII exerts a predominantly effect due costs infrastructure turns term as matures, especially [0.85–0.95]. IND, conversely, consistently short- long-term scenarios, highlighting role enhancing efficiency reducing emissions. These emphasize need targeted policies, including prioritizing digitalization, developing green infrastructure, adopting phased development strategies maximize benefits.

Green and sustainable development of manufacturing industry has become the developing trend, green total factor productivity is an important indicator for measuring growth industry. The rapid digitalization provides new opportunities improvement industry's (IGTFP). However, there exists two different perspectives "digital promotion effect" inhibition presently, which causes paradox". That is, may have a non-linear effect on IGTFP. Therefore, this study focuses level aims to test threshold impact Furthermore, tries explore boundary conditions applicability driving sub-industries from perspective heterogeneous technological innovation abilities in industries. empirical based panel data 29 industries China 2012–2019. results show that: (1) Digitalization significant IGTFP, research are still robust according changing variable algorithm carrying Winsorize test. (2) Industry (ITI) plays role process (3) Heterogeneity analysis shows that mechanism varies depending differentiated intensity pollution degree. policymakers should formulate strategies.

The rapid expansion of the digital economy presents substantial opportunities for achieving “dual carbon” objectives in China and globally. Understanding how contributes to carbon emission reduction is essential promoting high-quality economic growth. This study examines mechanisms through which affects emissions, with a focus on “production side” social reproduction process. Using panel data from 30 provincial-level regions between 2012 2022, this employs dual fixed-effects model mediation effect analyze impact emissions. It explores three key channels–scale effects, structural technological effects. Additionally, moderating applied assess role National Big Data Comprehensive Pilot Zone (NBDCPZ) policy enhancing effects economy. findings indicate that: (1) plays significant reducing its being more pronounced eastern areas abundant energy resources higher levels development. (2) On production side, progress upgrading mediate whereas scale increases However, combined outweighs negative expansion. (3) analysis reveals that NBDCPZ amplifies economy, further strengthening prohibitive influence As nations increasingly prioritize sustainable development, provides valuable insights into by reduction. highlight need region-specific policies leverage transformation achieve neutrality goals.
