智能制造助力企业碳减排:内在机制与微观证据
Intelligent manufacturing promoting corporate carbon reduction:internal mechanisms and micro evidence
摘要
Abstract
Under the"dual carbon"goals,China's manufacturing sector faces significant carbon reduction challenges.As an essential driver of new quality productive forces,intelligent manufacturing(IM)presents a potential solution to these challenges.This study incor-porated IM and carbon emission factors into a heterogeneous firms model,analyzing the carbon reduction impact of IM on manufactur-ing firms using merged data from Chinese listed manufacturing companies.Both theoretical and empirical perspectives were employed to examine the effects of IM and their underlying mechanisms.Key findings included:① The development of IM significantly reduced corporate carbon emissions.For every 1%increase in IM level,carbon emissions decreased by 0.618%,equivalent to an average reduc-tion of 2 862.395 tons of CO2.② Robustness tests,accounting for carbon intensity,alternative core variables,extended sample years,and the use of intensity DID and system GMM,confirmed the stability of the baseline results.③ Mechanism analysis revealed that IM reduced carbon emissions through green innovation effects(GIEs),control optimization effects(COEs),and digital-intelligence synergy effects(DSEs).Specifically,GIEs involved enhancing green innovation,advancing energy-saving and emission-reducing technologies,and promoting lifecycle greening;COEs included optimizing both supply chain and internal controls;and DSEs comprised the synergy of digital-intelligence technologies with digital-intelligence platforms.④ Heterogeneity analysis indicated that IM's carbon reduction ef-fects varied across cities,firms,and industries.Consequently,policies should adopt a differentiated approach rather than a"one-size-fits-all"solution.This study is among the first to reveal IM's impact on carbon reduction at the micro level of firms,providing policy in-sights for promoting green,high-quality development in manufacturing through intelligent technology and contributing to the timely achievement of China's"dual carbon"goals.关键词
