Under the new development pattern, green low-carbon and
digital economy become two mainstream development directions
in China. Against the background ‘dual carbon’ strategies, based
on the data of China between 2010 and 2018 at the city level,
The paper adopts dynamic spatial Durbin models to investigate
the causal links causal between digital economy and carbon
intensity by constructing different spatial weight matrices, and
explore the influence of human capital with threshold model.
Results show that：(1) Urban digital economy and carbon intensity
show significant positive spatial correlation characteristics.
The carbon reduction of digital economy has obvious spatial spillover
effect under different spatial weight matrices. (2) Industrial
structure upgrading, technological innovation and resource allocation
optimization are effective channels through which digital
economy contributes to carbon emission reduction. (3) A doublethreshold
effect of human capital is evident in the carbon reduction
of digital economy. The findings offer new perspectives and
empirical evidence for understanding the causality relation
between the digital economy and carbon emission, and those
conclusions have important policy implications for how to promote
the digital economy development and thus achieve the
‘double carbon goal’.
