The Influence of Digital Technology Embedding Manufacturing Link Preference on Carbon Emissions

为探究数字技术嵌入制造业不同环节对碳排放的影响，识别了数字技术嵌入制造业环节偏好。研究发现：第一，数字技术嵌入制造业环节偏好与碳排放的关系曲线呈现“U型”，制造业中游环节嵌入数字技术，更有利于其减少碳排放。第二，成本效应和创新效应对两者“U型”关系的调节作用比较显著。相关结论为产业优化数字技术应用，更大化降低碳排放提供了新视角。To explore the impact of digital technology embedded in different segments of the manufacturing industry on carbon emissions, the preference for digital technology embedded in manufacturing segments was identified. It is found that, firstly, the relationship between the preference for digital technology embedded in the manufacturing industry and carbon emission shows a U-shape, and the embedding of digital technology in the midstream of the manufacturing industry is more conducive to reducing carbon emission. Secondly, the cost effect and innovation effect moderated the U-shaped relationship more significantly. The findings provide new perspectives for the industry to optimize the application of digital technology to reduce carbon emissions.
