Introduction: This study captures the effect of digitalization and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on quality electronic financial reports in one developing nation, specifically Jordanian banking sector. Given ever-evolving landscape where institutions embrace digital technologies while integrating sustainability principles into their operations, it is essential to examine interplay both trends enhancing transparency accuracy reporting.Methods: Data were collected from professionals Jordan using a structured questionnaire. The responses two hundred four valid respondents analyzed accordingly Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). It tested relationships digitization, SDG integration, reporting.Results: results indicate that integration positively affect reports. On other hand, (Coefficient = 0.214) was more substantial than 0.150), which indicates good governance, environmental, social improvements add value reporting by providing accuracy. Moreover, these facilitate finance departments' data reporting, regulatory compliance. Conclusions: contributes literature importance for SME banks. Banks adopt tools align with SDGs are also better prepared meet stakeholder expectations comply requirements. Further research can investigate factors determining long-term economic variables how they ultimately shape standards economies.

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.

Can digital economy improve urban ecological development? evidence based on double machine learning analysis

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13

Опубликована: Апрель 8, 2025

The role of digital economy (DE) in improving urban ecological development (UED) has attracted scholarly attention. Additionally, traditional causal inference models encounter several challenges, such as model misspecification and the “curse dimensionality.” In response to these problems, double machine learning method is applied assess effect DE on UED. Leveraging data from 282 Chinese cities 2006–2021, valuable conclusions emerge. First, improves UED positively contributes resilience recovery. Second, promoting green innovation, enhancing environmental efficiency, optimizing industrial structures are pathways through which Third, influence displays heterogeneity. Based results, this work proposes relevant recommendations grounded empirical research.

Regarding object, enterprises tend choose peer average level reference rather than best enterprise same industry, which reveals inherent law that enterprises' are satisfied with compliance championship. In terms effects, ESG‐mimetic isomorphic pressure no incremental information effect but efficiency optimization effect. Furthermore, intensity impact effects exhibit heterogeneity owing differences properties, sales growth rates, external attention. This expands motivation enriches empirical evidence institutional isomorphism.
