Abstract:

Digital and green transitions are crucial strategic deployments for achieving high-quality economic development and environmental sustainability, and they also serve as key drivers for advancing new quality productive forces. The policy effects of digital and green transformations on carbon emissions and carbon intensity (referred to as dual control of carbon emissions) is examined, deconstructing the new quality productive Forces in manufacturing industries from the perspectives of structural upgrading, total factor productivity optimization, and rational resource allocation, and the underlying mechanisms of these influences are analyzed.The empirical results indicate that, benefiting from the advancement of manufacturing structure and the optimization of total factor productivity, digital transformation contributes to the dual control of carbon emissions, while green transformation significantly reduces carbon emissions. However, the effect of factor allocation is not apparent. Further research shows that the synergistic effect of the “digital + green” dual transformation in reducing carbon intensity is greater than the sum of the individual policy effects, demonstrating a clear policy synergy effect. In addition, the heterogeneity analysis indicates that in regions with lower levels of structural upgrading or higher levels of total factor productivity optimization, the effect of the “digital + green” dual transition on reducing carbon emissions is weakened, but it significantly enhances the reduction of carbon intensity. It provides new evidence to further understand the complex relationship between digital and green transformations and the dual control of carbon emissions in this paper.

Key words: new quality productive forces, digital transition, green transition, dual control of carbon emissions
