Abstract

Based on a panel dataset of 47 countries during 1995–2015, this study investigates the impact of global value chains participation, as measured by position index, on air pollution. The moderating effect of digital economy is also examined. The results show that the increase of global value chains position has a negative impact on air pollution. Heterogeneity analyses show that the increase of forward‐linked production length could mitigate air pollution. The negative impact of global value chains position is reflected in non‐OECD countries, and the impact on CO is stronger than other pollutants. The mechanism analyses show that increased global value chains position mitigates air pollution through industrial structure upgrading and technological progress. The moderating effect analyses reveal that digital economy could strengthen the negative impact, in which digital applications play a key role. Digital economy could also strengthen the path of global value chains position affecting air pollution through industrial structure and technological progress. The results reveal that global value chains position should be improved to promote air pollution control, and different countries should implement differentiated strategies. In particular, it is of great significance for pollution control to promote the transformation and integration of digital achievements with digital applications as the breakthrough.

全球价值链参与与空气污染：数字经济重要吗？

基于1995-2015年间47个国家的面板数据集，本研究调查了全球价值链参与（以位置指数衡量）对空气污染的影响。本文还考察了数字经济的调节作用。结果表明，全球价值链地位的提升对大气污染具有负向影响。异质性分析表明，正向关联生产长度的增加可以缓解空气污染。全球价值链地位的负面影响反映在非经合组织国家，对CO的影响比其他污染物更强。机制分析表明，全球价值链地位的提升通过产业结构升级和技术进步来缓解大气污染。调节效应分析表明，数字经济会加剧负面影响，其中数字应用发挥了关键作用。数字经济还可以通过产业结构和技术进步加强全球价值链地位的路径，影响空气污染。研究结果表明，应提高全球价值链地位以促进大气污染治理，不同国家应实施差异化战略。特别是以数字化应用为突破口，推动数字化成果的转化与融合，对污染治理具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
