数字化发展、乡村建设与农村节能减排

Digital development,village construction,and rural energy conservation and emission reduction

基于2011—2020年中国30个省份的面板数据,采用固定效应模型和面板门槛模型,实证分析数字化发展对农村节能减排的影响及门槛效应,并从乡村建设视角揭示乡村宜居与宜业建设的绿色渠道作用。结果表明:数字化发展能够显著抑制农村能源强度和碳强度的上涨,有效提升农村节能减排成效;异质性分析表明,数字化发展在农业生产方面发挥的降能效应更为明显,在农村生活方面发挥的减碳效应更为突出;进一步分析表明,数字化发展对农村节能减排的作用存在倒“U”型的非线性影响特征,数字化发展能够推动乡村宜居建设和乡村宜业建设,进而为农村节能减排创造有利条件。据此,建议加快乡村数字基础设施建设,充分发挥数字化发展的环境红利;提升乡村数字渗透能力,培育农村绿色转型发展的数字环境;深入推进数字乡村建设,增强数字化在乡村宜居宜业建设的赋能效果。

Based on panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020,this study employed fixed-effects and panel threshold models to empirically analyze the impact and threshold effects of digital development on rural energy conservation and emission reduction and reveal the green pathways to promote rural livability and workability from the perspective of village construction.The results show that digital development has significantly suppressed the increase in energy and carbon intensity in rural areas,effectively improving the effectiveness of energy saving and emission reduction in rural areas.Heterogeneity analysis indicates that digital development has a more significant energy reduction effect in agricultural production,and a more prominent carbon reduction effect in rural life.Further analysis shows that the influence of digital development on energy saving and emission reduction in rural areas has an inverted“U”shaped nonlinear influence,and that digital development can promote rural livability and workability to create favorable conditions for energy saving and emission reduction in rural areas.It is accordingly proposed to accelerate the construction of rural digital infrastructure,fully leverage the environmental dividends of digital development,enhance the digital penetration capability in rural areas,cultivate a digital environment for green transformation and development of rural areas,and advance the construction of digital villages to strengthen the empowering effects of digitization on the promotion of rural livability and workability.
