Abstract

Digital inclusive finance, which is based on the integration of financial technology underlying technology and financial inclusive value, can provide new ideas for China to achieve the "dual carbon" strategic goal and promote China's green low-carbon transformation. This paper uses panel data of 31 provinces, autonomous regions and cities from 2011 to 2019 to explore the impact of digital inclusive finance on China's carbon emission intensity. The study found that digital inclusive finance can significantly inhibit carbon emissions, of which the coverage depth of sub dimensions has the largest inhibition effect on carbon emission intensity, and the carbon emission reduction effect of digital inclusive finance is particularly significant in the eastern region. At the same time, the carbon emission reduction effect of digital inclusive finance is gradually enhanced with the improvement of economic development level. Based on this, this study puts forward corresponding suggestions to promote the integration of digital inclusive finance and green finance and promote China's green low-carbon transformation.
