Digital-Real Integration and Energy System Resilience: Impact Mechanisms Analysis and Spatial Spillover Effects

Key Points

• The study aims to analyze the impact mechanisms of digital-real integration on energy system resilience across different provinces.
• Empirical analysis using panel data from 30 provincial administrative regions from 2011 to 2022.
• Robustness checks were conducted to validate findings.
• Digital-real integration significantly enhances energy system resilience, particularly in social and environmental dimensions.
• The main drivers identified are innovations in artificial intelligence and industrial structure upgrades.
• Spatial spillover effects indicate a negative impact on neighboring regions' energy resilience due to resource absorption.
