This research aims to investigate the impact of big data aggregation on energy efficiency and carbon emission intensity among Chinese enterprises. To this end, it employs primary financial data from Chinese listed companies from 2009 to 2021 and carbon emissions data disclosed in social responsibility reports, sustainable development reports, and environmental reports. The findings revealed that the aggregation of big data elements dramatically reduces the intensity of carbon emissions in firms in the pilot regions. The decrease effect is more effective in economically developed places and regions with higher degrees of digitization, particularly for organizations in high-energy-consuming industries, and it is more robust for small and non-state-owned businesses. The aggregation of big data elements mainly aids firms in pilot regions in lowering energy consumption and emissions by increasing technical innovation and energy usage efficiency. To create a new national competitive advantage, we should actively promote the gradual expansion of the comprehensive pilot zone for big data, advance the in-depth application of big data in environmental governance, and better capitalize on the dividends of big data aggregation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47829,"journal":{"name":"Structural Change and Economic Dynamics","volume":"72 ","pages":"Pages 89-102"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143326158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanism analysis indicates that the BCS affects income inequality through skill-biased technical progress and shifts in the labor skill structure, with the latter playing a dominant role. Heterogeneity analysis indicates the reduction in income inequality is more pronounced in eastern regions, large cities, non-resource-based economies, newer industrial bases, as well as cities experiencing low-skill-biased technical progress and rapid updates to labor skill structures.

This paper applies the framework of ecological network analysis to input–output data and captures resilient economic structures between self-sufficiency (redundancy) and extreme specialization (efficiency). Calculating the structural resilience of 69 countries shows that economies are more redundant than ecological systems and moved towards more efficient structures over time. By regressing economic openness on structural characteristics, we find that economically more open economies on the export side are more efficient and less structurally redundant. This reflects that specialization and integration into global supply chains go hand in hand. We also find a significant empirical relationship between structural resilience and changes in unemployment. This finding suggests that measuring the structural resilience of national production networks helps capture the robustness of economic systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47829,"journal":{"name":"Structural Change and Economic Dynamics","volume":"72 ","pages":"Pages 11-28"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143325785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the input-output-structure path analysis model, we constructed a five-dimensional analysis model, aiming to thoroughly clarify China's inter-regional and inter-industry carbon emission relations. The results show that from 1997 to 2017, carbon emissions driven by urban household consumption have increased from 579.48 Mt to 3302.71 Mt. Transportation warehousing and other services have driven upstream to generate lots of carbon emissions.

Tailoring RCW to national levels to study China prefecture-level cities, a salient pattern of widespread convergence to the national mean since 2003 is observed, signifying an extensive reduction in economic inequality across China prefecture-level cities. Building on this observation, a modified Gini coefficient, <span><math><msub><mrow><mi>Gini</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>city</mi></mrow></msub></math></span>, is proposed, which shows that China’s inter-city economic inequality reached its zenith in 2003 and has since been declining. A new Theil’s T formulae is also derived based on RCW to corroborate this finding. The declining inequality trend can be largely attributed to two key mechanisms: (1) the implementation of the “Common Prosperity” policy framework, which includes numerous targeted assistance policies from both central and local governments aimed at fostering a more balanced and equitable economic landscape, and (2) the process of urbanization, which exacerbated inequality in 1980s and 1990s during China’s first stage of economic reform, has facilitated the sharing of added wealth with an influx of population into economically thriving cities since 2000.
