Overview

Empirical findings demonstrate how digital economy influences carbon emission efficiency in logistics, suggesting significant regional nuances.

Key Points

  • This research investigates how the digital economy can enhance carbon emission efficiency in the logistics sector.
  • Developed a comprehensive evaluative framework utilizing panel data from China (2012-2022)
  • Employed entropy-weighted TOPSIS method to assess digital economy development
  • Used super-efficiency SBM model to quantify logistics carbon emission efficiency
  • Conducted baseline regression and mediation analyses alongside Spatial Durbin Models
  • Digital economy and logistics carbon emission efficiency showed growth across China with regional disparities
  • A U-shaped relationship was observed, indicating an initial inhibitory effect at lower levels of digital economy development with a threshold at 0.5972
  • Energy intensity was identified as a significant mediation factor
  • Positive spatial spillover effects were found in neighboring regions due to digital economy advancements
