中国の283都市の2006～2022年のパネルデータを用い、国家電子商取引実証都市政策（NEDCP）が都市の炭素排出に与える影響を多段階DIDで分析。政策は炭素排出を有意に削減し、エネルギー効率向上、デジタル経済進展、グリーンイノベーション促進が経路。開放性・人口・経済・革新能力の高い都市で効果が大きく、近隣地域への波及効果も確認。
English
Using a panel dataset of 283 Chinese cities from 2006-2022, this study employs a multi-stage DID approach to analyze how the National E-commerce Demonstration City Pilot Policy (NEDCP) affects urban carbon emissions. Results show significant emission reductions through improved energy efficiency, digital economy development, and green innovation. Effects are stronger in cities with higher openness, larger population, better economic conditions, and stronger innovation capacity, with positive spatial spillovers to neighboring areas.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Carbon reduction is an urgent challenge for developing nations that balance socioeconomic development and climate mitigation in global low-carbon control. As a key digital economy means, e-commerce development enables urban low-carbon transition. In this context, drawing on a Chinese panel dataset covering 283 cities during 2006–2022, and taking the National E-commerce Demonstration City Pilot Policy (NEDCP) as a quasi-natural experiment, we use a multi-stage difference-in-differences (DID) strategy to detect how NEDCP affects urban carbon emissions. The results reveal that the NEDCP greatly reduces carbon emissions at an urban scale, which remains robust through a series of robustness tests. Mechanism analysis focuses on three channels, which includes boosting energy efficiency, advancing the digital economy, and promoting green innovation. Heterogeneity tests show that these benefits are more strongly evident in cities with a higher openness, a larger population, better economic conditions, and a stronger innovation capacity. The spatial spillover effect test shows that the NEDCP not only promotes local carbon reduction, but also promotes carbon reduction in neighboring areas. These findings offer theoretical insights for enhancing the NEDCP’s environmental benefits, and a practical guide for differentiated low-carbon development strategies, especially for prioritizing logistics and innovation support and refining green e-commerce standards.
