Abstract

The synergistic development of digitalization and greening represents an inescapable option for propelling the advancement of economy and society. Using the panel data of 30 provinces spanning from 2010 to 2021 in China, this research conducts the effect and path of digital industrial agglomeration on carbon productivity from a multi-dimensional perspective. The study reveals that a non-linear inverted U-shaped correlation exists between digital industrial agglomeration and carbon productivity. The threshold effect test indicates that once the level of green technology innovation surpasses a specific threshold, the agglomeration of digital industries exerts a positive influence on carbon productivity. The research results hold substantial practical importance for the effective utilization of digital industrial agglomeration to empower efficiency-enhancing carbon reduction.
