本論文は中国A株上場企業（2013〜2022年）のデータを用いて、デジタル経済が企業の低炭素移行を有意に促進することを実証した。産業構造の高度化が媒介経路として機能し、市場競争の激しさが促進効果を強める。国有企業やデジタル経済企業で効果が顕著であり、同業他社への波及効果も確認された。産業高度化政策や競争環境整備に対する示唆を提供している。
English
Using data on Chinese A-share listed firms from 2013 to 2022, this paper shows that the digital economy significantly drives firms' low-carbon transition. Industrial structure upgrading serves as a mediating channel, and market competition strengthens the effect. The impact is stronger for SOEs, declining firms, digital economy firms, and technology-intensive firms, with significant spillovers across peers. The findings inform industrial upgrading policies and market competition optimization.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX政策ではDX（デジタルトランスフォーメーション）とGXの連携が重視されるが、本論文はその実証的根拠を中国データで示すもの。産業構造高度化と市場競争の役割を明確化しており、日本の企業・政策担当者にとって比較・参考になる。ただし中国特有の政策環境やデータ特性に留意する必要がある。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global discussion on how digitalization can support corporate decarbonization, complementing policy frameworks that link digital transformation with green transitions. It provides empirical evidence from China, the world's largest emerging economy, and highlights mediating pathways (industrial upgrading) and moderating factors (market competition) relevant to transition finance and climate policy design globally.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides empirical evidence on the digital economy-low carbon transition nexus, with mediating and moderating mechanisms useful for further research.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights industrial upgrading and market competition as levers to amplify the digital economy's effect on firms' low-carbon transition.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This paper empirically investigates the impact of the digital economy on firms’ low-carbon transition, using data on listed firms in the Chinese A-share market from 2013 to 2022. Our findings reveal that the digital economy notably drives their low-carbon transition, and this conclusion remains robust to stability tests and controls for endogeneity. The mediating effect test outcomes indicate that the digital economy can facilitate firms’ transition to low-carbon operations through industrial structure upgrading. The moderating effect analysis exhibits that the intensity of market competition strengthens this facilitating effect on firms’ low-carbon transition. The heterogeneity analysis demonstrates that this facilitating effect is more pronounced among state-owned enterprises, declining firms, digital economy firms, and technology-intensive enterprises. Furthermore, the spillover effect test results indicate significant spillover effects of the digital economy among peer firms, categorized by industry and city. Our study elaborates on the underlying mediating pathways through which the digital economy indirectly drives this transition via industrial structure upgrading, alongside the moderating role of market competition intensity. This work broadens the theoretical research framework on transformation dynamics and provides decision-making references for formulating industrial upgrading guidance policies and optimizing the market competition landscape.
