Objective: To measure the low-carbon development level and digital transformation degree of China’s manufacturing industry, and to examine the impact of digital transformation on low-carbon development.Methods: This paper uses Super Slack Based Measure (SBM) model and multi-regional input-output model to measure the low-carbon development level and digital transformation degree of 17 manufacturing industries in 30 provinces of China from 2012 to 2018, and uses high-dimensional fixed effect model and mediation model to study the impact of digital transformation on low-carbon development.Results: 1) During the study period, China’s manufacturing industry showed an upward trend in terms of low-carbon development level and digital transformation, but there were significant regional and industrial disparities. 2) Digital transformation can significantly promote the low-carbon development of manufacturing industry, which is still valid in the robustness test. 3) For sub-indicators, digital industrialization has the most obvious effect on the low-carbon development of manufacturing industry, and the improvement of digital development environment also has a positive impact on low-carbon development. 4) The heterogeneity analysis indicate that digital transformation has a greater impact on promoting low-carbon development of manufacturing in underdeveloped regions, and the positive effect is obvious in medium-low-energy-consuming industries, but not in high-energy-consuming industries. 5) The mechanism test shows that technological innovation is a channel for digital transformation to promote low-carbon development.Value: This paper provides empirical evidence for the environmental impact of digital transformation, and offers a scientific basis for relevant departments to formulate low-carbon development policies from the perspective of digital transformation. |
