Abstract
The "Dual Carbon" goal has started a new era of the green and low-carbon path, and with the deepening of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, the linkage between the digital economy and low-carbon transformation has become the focus of academic attention. Can the digital economy promote low-carbon development while promoting high-quality economic development in China? Adopting the panel data of 13 cities in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei between 2011 and 2017, this paper investigates the impact of digital economy development on carbon emissions and its action mechanism via the fixed-effect model. The results suggest that digital economy development effectively suppresses carbon emission intensity in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and industrial structure upgrading plays an important mediating role in the process.
