本論文は2013〜2023年の中国A株企業パネルデータを用い、デジタル金融包摂（DFI）が企業のCO2排出削減に寄与するかを検証。DFIへのアクセスと排出量の間に有意な負の相関を確認し、東部地域・大企業・公共サービス・製造業で効果が顕著。経路として、グリーン技術革新、環境責任の強化、持続可能性プロジェクトへの信用制約緩和を特定。
English
Using panel data on Chinese A-share firms from 2013-2023, this paper examines how digital financial inclusion (DFI) affects corporate CO2 emissions. It finds a significant negative correlation, with effects pronounced in eastern China, large firms, and public services/manufacturing. Mediation tests identify three channels: green technology upgrading, strengthened environmental responsibility, and relaxed credit constraints for sustainability projects.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Digital financial inclusion (DFI) serves as a key catalyst for corporate green transition, primarily by easing financing barriers to low-carbon investment and supporting emission abatement efforts. Leveraging a panel dataset of Chinese A-share firms from 2013 to 2023, this paper investigates how DFI influences CO2 emissions and identifies the underlying channels. We find a significant negative correlation between access to DFI and CO2 emissions, with the effect exhibiting pronounced regional heterogeneity, being significant primarily among firms located in eastern China, as well as large-scale enterprises and those in the public services and manufacturing sectors. Mediation tests indicate that this reduction operates through three interrelated pathways: accelerated green technological upgrading, strengthened environmental responsibility, and relaxed credit constraints for sustainability-oriented projects. Further analysis confirms that DFI fosters green transformation by encouraging cleaner production methods and promoting innovation in eco-friendly technologies. Accordingly, we recommend targeted policy interventions, differentiated by firm size and industry, to scale up DFI for corporate decarbonization, complemented by institutional reforms to ensure effective implementation.
