With the recent technological advancements, such as internet, big data, and cloud computing, China’s digital economy plays a significant role in economic development. However, may also affect environmental quality, but prevailing literature is scant on how affects urban pollution. To fill this gap, study established an index system based 277 prefecture-level cities China calculated their indicators from 2011 to 2019. Using two-way fixed effects model, mediation effect model moderation multi-dimensional empirical test conducted determine impact of pollution internal mechanisms. Empirical results indicate that significantly reduces pollutant emissions shows spatial heterogeneity. After series robustness tests endogenous analysis, our findings are consistent. The mechanism reveal can help mitigate through improved industrial structure, promotion green innovation, financial Further, demonstrate government intervention enhance negative economy. Moreover, heterogeneity (i.e., city size, time, space heterogeneity) show development more reducing large eastern coastal cities. While policy has been found after being adjusted by national strategy. Our enriches research regarding causes mechanisms pollution, provides evidence contributes control decision-making references for enabling growth maximizing its reduction power.

Since the industrial revolution, countries have been facing issue of climate change and environmental degradation. It is widely believed that investment in research development renewable energy can play a pivotal role fighting against change. However, financial risk also increases, which influence technology R&D budgets sustainability. Nevertheless, current literature silent on linkage between risk, budgets, quality. Against this backdrop, article attempts to explore dynamic ecological footprint under Environment Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework Organization for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) countries. For purpose, yearly data from 1984 2018 employed using advanced panel estimation methods address slope heterogeneity cross-sectional dependence issues. The results indicate improvement index significantly decreases footprints, promote globalization poses significant negative effect footprint, while consumption adds footprint. Moreover, findings validated EKC hypothesis OECD In addition, unidirectional causality detected bidirectional exists economic growth. Based empirical findings, policy suggestions are presented
