この研究は、中国の都市データと二重機械学習を用いて、デジタルガバナンスの政策アップグレード（情報恵民からインターネット+政务服务へ）が炭素中立に及ぼす動的な効果を実証した。政策アップグレードにより環境効果が増幅されることを示し、そのメカニズムとして政府の注意力構造最適化、行政効率向上、市民参加促進を特定した。
English
This study uses double machine learning on panel data from 266 Chinese cities to investigate how digital governance policy upgrades (from IBP to IGS) dynamically propel cities toward carbon neutrality. Findings show that the policy upgrade amplifies the carbon reduction effect, driven by structural optimization of government attention, administrative efficiency, and public participation.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT The intensifying global climate crisis necessitates a rapid transition toward systemic decarbonization, positioning urban carbon neutrality as a cornerstone of international sustainable development agendas. Within this framework, digital governance serves not merely as a technical instrument but as a critical transformative force for urban green transitions. However, most existing research conceptualizes digital interventions as static events, overlooking the dynamic marginal dividends generated by iterative policy refinements. This study addresses this gap by investigating the evolutionary path from the Information Benefiting the People (IBP) pilot to the Internet + Government Services (IGS) initiative, framing this transition as a strategic digital policy upgrade. To ensure robust causal inference, we employ a double machine learning (DML) framework and panel data from 266 Chinese cities. The empirical findings provide compelling evidence that digital governance significantly propels cities toward carbon neutrality. Crucially, this environmental impact is substantially amplified following the policy upgrade, confirming that the continuous optimization of digital platforms creates a synergy effect essential for long‐term decarbonization. Mechanism analysis reveals that this dynamic empowerment is driven by the structural optimization of governmental attention, enhanced administrative efficiency, and the mobilization of public environmental participation. Furthermore, the efficacy of policy upgrading exhibits significant heterogeneity, with more pronounced benefits observed in larger cities and high‐innovation hubs. These findings underscore that the path to carbon neutrality is not merely a matter of technical adoption but of continuous institutional evolution. This research offers a scalable blueprint for global policymakers to leverage dynamic digital governance as a catalyst for sustainable urban transitions.
