The advancement of the big data industry is playing a pivotal role in urban land management refinement. Recently, China initiated strategy, establishing national comprehensive pilot zones (NBDCPZs) across diverse regions. These initiatives present substantial opportunities for enhancing green use efficiency (ULGUE). Consequently, this study, we utilized super-efficiency slack-based measure (SBM) model with undesirable outputs to assess ULGUEs 281 prefecture-level cities from 2006 2021. Subsequently, leveraging NBDCPZ establishment as quasi-natural experiment, employed difference-in-differences (DID) method empirically explore impact policy on ULGUE first time. findings revealed following: (1) implementation significantly enhances ULGUE; (2) effects are mediated through mechanisms such fostering technological innovation, mitigating resource misallocation, and promoting industrial agglomeration; (3) heterogeneity analysis emphasizes increased effectiveness characterized by fewer natural resources, lower economic growth pressures, stable development stages, moderate digital infrastructure human capital levels; (4) further demonstrates significant positive spillover neighboring non-pilot cities, diminishing proximity between decreases. Overall, study contributes literature relationship economy utilization, offering valuable insights achieving sustainable development.

Digital Innovations Driving Urban Sustainability: Key Factors in Reducing Carbon Emissions

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(5), С. 2186 - 2186

Опубликована: Март 3, 2025

The digital economy is crucial in facilitating cities’ green and low-carbon transformations, balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability. However, its role mitigating urban carbon emissions remains underexplored existing research. This study examines how technologies contribute to emission reduction by integrating circular theory behavioral economics theory. Based on expert interviews a systematic literature review, the research applies Decision-Making Trial Evaluation Laboratory Interpretive Structural Modeling (DEMATEL-ISM) methodology identify 13 key factors driving transitions. findings highlight that economy-driven transformation, infrastructure development e-commerce logistics optimization are pivotal for reducing emissions. offers theoretical insights into economy’s development. It also provides practical guidance policymakers, managers businesses. These strategies can enhance energy efficiency, reduce promote ecological

The Bright Side of Uncertainty: The Impact of Climate Policy Uncertainty on Urban Green Total Factor Energy Efficiency

Energies, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 17(12), С. 2899 - 2899

Опубликована: Июнь 13, 2024

Climate change has a significant impact on human economic and social life, climate issues have rapidly emerged as global hot topic. Using data from prefecture-level cities in China 2005 to 2020 sample, this study explores the relationship between policy uncertainty (CPU) urban green total factor energy efficiency (GTFEE). The results show that, first, CPU can significantly improve GTFEE, are reconfirmed after various robustness tests. Second, promotes GTFEE by improving public environmental concerns optimizing consumption structure. Third, promotion role of is particularly resource-based economically developed cities. provide theoretical basis practical enlightenment for government formulate forward-looking policies promote transformation development

Research on the impacts of digital economy on carbon emission efficiency at China’s City level

PLoS ONE, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 19(9), С. e0308001 - e0308001

Опубликована: Сен. 6, 2024

As a new type of economic format, digital economy has three major characteristics: technical, innovative, energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Acting on various sectors the national economy, it is beneficial for improving carbon emission efficiency great significance achieving China’s two goals peak neutrality. Firstly, theoretical analysis impact mechanism efficiency, proposing research hypotheses direct effect, mediating spatial effect efficiency. Secondly, based panel data from 279 cities in China 2011 to 2020, econometric models are constructed empirically analyze direct, mediating, effects The results show that: 1) Digital can improve efficiency; 2) “U”-shaped relationship, which consistent with "Environmental Kuznets Curve" hypothesis; 3) impacts exist urban heterogeneity, specifically manifested as regional heterogeneity scale heterogeneity; 4) Technological innovation an important mediator promoting technological 5) neighboring cities. Finally, above results, suggestions proposed aspects: industries key areas deep cultivation emphasizing balance development strengthening cooperation order continue play positive role through economy.

How does the digital economy impact the green upgrading of manufacturing? Perspectives on technological innovation and resource allocation

Applied Economics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 16

Опубликована: Июнь 11, 2024

This study aims to examine the impact and driving mechanisms of digital economy (DGE) on green upgrade manufacturing (MGU) within context low-carbon development. focuses China as research sample, using panel data from 2011 2019, covering both provincial industry levels. It is tested through econometric empirical methods such fixed effects, mediation effects. The results demonstrate that DGE plays a crucial part in MGU, principally by improving resource allocation efficiency advancing technological innovation. Relative improvements, more substantially promotes MGU towards environmentally friendly Further heterogeneity analysis reveals effect upgrades pronounced China's eastern regions areas with higher levels socio-economic development greater market potential. Building upon these findings, paper offers suite policy recommendations including judicious advancement transformation innovation, optimizing achieving lean production, implementing region-specific management. expected provide experience for world learn addressing climate change promoting mode.
