デジタル化が中国の世帯炭素排出に与える影響を、CFPSパネルデータとマクロデータを用いて分析。デジタル化は世帯全体の排出を削減するが、直接排出は減少し間接排出は増加するという「分化効果」を確認。都市部や高学歴世帯で排出削減効果が大きく、デジタル格差に起因する炭素削減能力の不平等が示唆された。
English
Using panel data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) and macroeconomic indicators, this study finds that digitalization significantly reduces per capita household carbon emissions. However, it creates a differentiation effect: direct emissions from fossil fuels decrease while indirect emissions from electricity and consumption increase. The emission reduction benefits are stronger in urban and better-educated households, highlighting potential inequality from the digital divide in the green transition.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本論文は中国の家庭を対象としているが、日本の家庭部門の脱炭素やスマートホーム施策において、デジタル化が排出構造に与える影響を考慮する上で示唆に富む。特に、デジタル格差が削減能力の不平等につながる点は、日本の高齢化や地域格差を踏まえた政策設計に参考となる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides micro-level evidence from China on how digitalization reshapes household carbon emissions, with a clear structural shift from direct to indirect emissions. For the global GX context, it underscores the need to integrate digital equity into climate policies, as the digital divide may exacerbate carbon inequality. The findings are relevant for countries pursuing digital-led decarbonization strategies.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Offers robust panel data evidence on the causal effect of digitalization on household emissions, including structural decomposition, which can inform further research on digital economy and carbon reduction.
🏢実務担当者:Highlights how digitalization shifts emission sources from direct energy use to indirect consumption, suggesting that companies should focus on reducing embedded emissions in digital products and services.
🏛政策担当者:Provides evidence that digitalization can reduce household emissions overall, but warns of unequal benefits; policies should address the digital divide to ensure equitable green transitions.
📄 Abstract（原文）
With global climate change and the pursuit of "dual carbon" goals, households have drawn growing attention as key contributors to energy use and carbon emissions. The spread of digital technologies is reshaping daily life and energy consumption patterns, yet how digitalization affects household carbon emissions remains poorly understood. To address this gap, we combine macroeconomic indicators of the digital economy with micro-level household panel data and estimate a model with two-way fixed effects, examining the effect of digitalization on per capita household carbon emissions and their composition. Our findings show that digitalization significantly reduces total per capita household emissions, but it also produces a clear "differentiation effect" on the emission structure: direct emissions from fossil fuels fall noticeably, while indirect emissions embedded in electricity use and the consumption of goods and services rise. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the emission reduction benefits are stronger in urban areas and among better-educated households, pointing to a possible inequality in carbon reduction capacity arising from the digital divide in the green transition. This paper provides micro-level evidence on the environmental consequences of the digital economy and offers theoretical support for aligning digitalization with low-carbon development and for designing differentiated emission reduction policies.
