中国の低炭素都市とグリーンデータセンターのパイロット政策が、都市の生態学的レジリエンスに相乗効果をもたらすかを、292都市の2002-2022年のパネルデータと段階的DIDで検証。単独では効果がないが、同時実施で29.2%向上し、投資動員・消費転換・イノベーション成果が経路。政策間の補完性が超加算効果を生むことを示す。
English
This study examines whether China's low-carbon city and green data center pilots create synergistic effects on urban ecological resilience. Using panel data from 292 cities (2002-2022) and staggered difference-in-differences, it finds that joint implementation raises resilience by 29.2%, with effects driven by investment mobilization, consumption transformation, and innovation output. The findings highlight cross-domain policy complementarities that single-program evaluations miss.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では、GX推進法やデジタル田園都市国家構想など、脱炭素とデジタル化の連携が模索されている。本論文の政策間相乗効果の実証手法は、日本の自治体や企業が複数政策を同時に実施する際の評価に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global GX scholarship by demonstrating that low-carbon and digital policies can produce super-additive effects, relevant for countries coordinating digital transformation with decarbonization. It offers a methodological template for evaluating policy interactions, complementing ISSB/TCFD disclosure frameworks that often treat policies in isolation.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Environmental policies are typically evaluated in isolation, yet they may interact in ways that single-program assessments cannot detect. We examine whether two Chinese pilot programs, a low-carbon city initiative and a green data center initiative, generate synergistic effects on urban ecological resilience. Using panel data from 292 cities over 2002–2022 and staggered difference-in-differences estimation, we find that neither pilot alone improves resilience, but our preferred specification indicates that their joint implementation raises it by 29.2%, with stronger synergies associated with cities that adopted carbon regulation before digital infrastructure deployment. The main channels operate through investment mobilization, consumption transformation, and innovation output rather than simple innovation input expansion. These findings provide evidence that cross-domain policy complementarities can produce super-additive effects that are difficult to detect in conventional single-program evaluation, while also speaking to countries that are attempting to coordinate digital transformation with decarbonization under uneven institutional capacity.
