Implication

Analysis reveals extreme temperatures impact urban digital economies by disrupting supply chains and highlighting climate risks.

Key Points

  • This research investigates how extreme temperatures affect the urban digital economy in China.
  • Examined panel data from 281 prefecture-level cities in China (2012-2023).
  • Utilized spatial autocorrelation analysis to assess digital economy impacts.
  • Employed spatial Durbin model (SDM) and GS2SLS estimator to identify endogeneity effects.
  • Extreme heat boosts short-term local digital demand, promoting long-term IT human capital growth.
  • Extreme cold disrupts supply chains and increases energy consumption, primarily affecting local economies.
  • Green technological innovation mitigates extreme heat impacts by facilitating demand substitution.
