Abstract

To reveal the intrinsic path of digital economy empowering enterprises’ low-carbon transformation in existing research. This paper takes the A-share listed companies in China in 2023 as the research object. After sample screening, 4,192 observations were obtained, and an analytical framework of “digital economy - enterprise technological innovation - low-carbon transformation” was constructed to empirically test the interaction among the three. Research shows that the digital economy has a significant positive driving effect on the low-carbon transformation of enterprises. The digital economy can effectively promote technological innovation in enterprises. Enterprise technological innovation plays a partial mediating role between the two, and the digital economy indirectly empowers enterprises’ low-carbon transformation by promoting technological innovation.
