本研究は、中国の越境電子商取引総合試験区の政策を自然実験として、ダブル機械学習を用いてデジタル貿易が汚染抑制・炭素削減（PCCM）に与える影響を分析。2011～2023年の中国280都市のパネルデータにより、デジタル貿易が技術革新・産業のスマート化・市民参加を通じてPCCMを有意に促進することを発見。政府の新たな生産性重視やデジタル政府構築が効果を強化する一方、環境規制強化は抑制効果をもたらす。
English
This study uses double machine learning to evaluate the impact of digital trade (cross-border e-commerce pilot zones) on pollution control and carbon mitigation (PCCM) in 280 Chinese cities (2011-2023). Digital trade significantly improves PCCM through technological innovation, intelligent industrial transformation, and public participation. Government emphasis on new quality productive forces and digital government positively moderates the effect, while stringent environmental regulation dampens it. The findings suggest a triple dividend of reduced pollution, lower carbon, and sustained growth.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Digital trade reflects the convergence of the new technological revolution and traditional trade. Investigating its effectiveness in pollution control and carbon mitigation (PCCM) is crucial for addressing global environmental challenges. This research exploits the rollout of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones (CECPZs) as an exogenous policy shock, leveraging double machine learning (DML) methods to assess the impact of digital trade on PCCM using panel data from 280 Chinese prefecture-level cities from 2011 to 2023. The results reveal that digital trade significantly enhances PCCM, mainly by promoting technological innovation, intelligent industrial transformation, and public participation; government emphasis on new quality productive forces and digital government construction positively moderates the link between digital trade and PCCM, while intensified environmental regulation exerts a counteracting inhibitory effect. Heterogeneous outcomes reveal that the promoting effects of digital trade are more evident in large areas, as well as in cities that are neither traditional industrial bases nor resource-based. Further analysis shows that digital trade can deliver a triple dividend in the form of reduced pollution, lower carbon emissions, and sustained economic growth. These findings provide meaningful guidance for promoting a balanced and sustainable relationship between human activities and the natural environment in the digital era.
