Panel analysis reveals digital infrastructure boosts urban pollution-carbon mitigation, indicating indirect effects and significant heterogeneity.

Digital infrastructure increases the urban synergistic pollution-carbon mitigation index by 1.5%, demonstrating significant positive effects.
The economic agglomeration effect plays a larger role in enhancing the pollution-carbon reduction synergy compared to energy and income effects.
Panel data analysis using a multiperiod difference-in-differences approach assesses impacts across 280 prefecture-level cities in China.
Findings highlight the need for digital technology-driven mechanisms for pollution-carbon reduction, particularly in environmentally regulated cities.

Ji et al. (2025) studied this question.
