Abstract Sustainable Development Goal 8 proposes the promotion of full and productive employment for all. Intelligent production factors, such as robots, Internet Things, extensive data analysis, are reshaping dynamics labour supply demand. In China, which is a developing country with large population force, analysing impact artificial intelligence technology on market particular importance. Based panel from 30 provinces in China 2006 to 2020, two-way fixed-effect model two-stage least squares method used analyse AI assess its heterogeneity. The introduction installation represented by industrial robots Chinese enterprises has increased number jobs. results some mechanism studies show that increase productivity, deepening capital refinement division been introduced into through robotics have successfully mitigated damaging adoption robot employment. Rather than traditional perceptions crowding out jobs, overall exerted promotional effect. positive effect exhibits an inevitable heterogeneity, it serves relatively improves job share women workers labour-intensive industries. Mechanism research shown virtual agglomeration, evolved agglomeration era digital economy, important channel increasing findings this study contribute understanding modern technologies well-being people countries. To give play role employment, we should improve social security system, accelerate process high-end domestic deepen reform education training system.

Introduction Promoting the development of digital technology is an important step in meeting challenge global climate change and achieving carbon peaking neutrality goals. Methods Based on panel data Chinese cities from 2006 to 2020, this paper used econometrics investigate impact mechanism emissions. Results The results showed that can significantly reduce emission intensity improve efficiency. These remained robust after changing estimation method, adding policy omission variables, replacing core solving endogeneity problem. Digital indirectly emissions by promoting green technological innovation reducing energy intensity, it plays a significant role reduction practices trading policies comprehensive national big pilot zones. replicability, non-exclusivity, high mobility help accelerate spread knowledge information between different cities, which leads spillover effect reductions. Our unconditional quantile regression model technology’s continuously decreases with increases dioxide Discussion provide evidence for potential use goal neutrality, great significance high-quality transformation economy society.

Improving agricultural green total factor productivity is important for achieving high-quality economic development and the SDGs. Digital inclusive finance, which combines advantages of digital technology represents a new scheme that can ease credit constraints information ambiguity in production. First, this study focused on agro-ecological functions; we incorporated carbon sequestration emissions extraction into evaluation system used mixed-direction-distance function to calculate productivity. Then, based panel data from 31 provinces China collected 2011 2021, two-way fixed effect model, interactive effect, plausibly exogenous variable method test impact financial inclusion productivity, its mechanism action. The panel-corrected standard error Driscoll–Kraay methods were account unobserved heterogeneity cross-section dependence data. results showed significantly improve This conclusion remained valid following robustness tests using spatial econometric model changing explanatory variables. by facilitating transfer land. Sound infrastructure strict policies enhance role finance promoting agriculture. These conclusions could help sector formulate flexible, accurate, reasonable, appropriate products would support agriculture, sustainable development.
