Abstract

Abstract The establishment of digital infrastructure embodies a pivotal instrument in propelling developmental metamorphosis, whilst fostering energy preservation and emission abatement. By employing municipal-level data spanning the period from 2009 to 2019, this research establishes a quasi-natural experiment anchored upon the “Broadband China” strategy. Employing the Difference-in-Differences (DID) methodology, this inquiry thoroughly examines the influence of digital infrastructure construction on the alleviation of carbon emissions. The findings indicate that the implementation of digital infrastructure exerts a notable impact on the reduction of carbon emissions. Moreover, carbon emission reduction resulting from digital infrastructure construction exhibits distinctive characteristics of heterogeneity. The empirical evidence presented within this study serves as a fundamental cornerstone for attaining the objectives of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
数字基础设施的碳减排效应——基于“宽带中国”战略
数字基础设施的建设是推动发展转型、促进节能减排的关键手段。本研究采用2009年至2019年的市级数据,建立了一个基于“宽带中国”战略的准自然实验。采用差异中差异(DID)方法,本研究深入考察了数字基础设施建设对减少碳排放的影响。研究结果表明,实施数字化基础设施对减少碳排放有显著影响。此外,数字基础设施建设带来的碳减排表现出明显的异质性特征。本研究中提出的经验证据是实现碳峰值和碳中和目标的基本基石。
