数字经济对能源消费结构的影响研究

Research on the impact of digital economy on energy consumption structure

使用熵值法对中国30个省份2013—2020年的数字经济发展水平进行测算,并以此为基础,使用固定效应模型对数字经济和能源消费结构之间可能存在的关系进行实证研究。结果表明,虽然我国各地区数字经济发展水平存在较大差距,但数字经济的发展可以显著促进能源消费结构向绿色发展方向迈进,并且该结果在稳健性检验及内生性检验下依然成立。依据这一结论,中国应继续大力加强数字经济发展建设,提高数字技术研发投入,推动产业结构加速转型及传统产业与数字技术之间的产业融合,更好地赋能绿色发展。

The entropy method is used to measure the development level of digital economy in 30 provinces in China from 2013 to 2020. Based on this, the fixed effect model is used to conduct an empirical study on the possible relationship between digital economy and energy consumption structure. The results show that although there are big differences in the development level of digital economy among different regions, the development of digital economy can significantly promote the energy consumption structure to the direction of green development, and the results are still valid under the robustness test and endogeneity test. According to this conclusion, China should continue to vigorously strengthen the development and construction of digital economy, increase investment in digital technology research and development, promote the accelerated transformation of industrial structure and industrial integration between traditional industries and digital technology, so as to better empower green development.
