Abstract

The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region is a demonstration area for the development of digital inclusive finance and a pilot field for achieving the "double carbon" target. However, does digital inclusive finance in the Yangtze River Delta region promote carbon emission reduction? In this paper, we use a threshold effect model to explore the impact of digital inclusive finance on per capita carbon dioxide emissions in 41 prefecture-level cities in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2014 to 2019. The results show that the development of digital inclusive finance in the Yangtze River Delta region positively affects the per capita carbon dioxide emissions of local cities. There is a non-linear relationship between the development of digital inclusive finance and carbon emissions, and there is a significant single threshold effect. Therefore, it is suggested that the Yangtze River Delta region should deepen the cooperation between digital inclusive finance policies and carbon emission reduction in the Yangtze River Delta, make reasonable use of regional advantages, and build cross-city green technology mutual assistance. It also expands the scope of "green monitoring" and releases targeted green financial products for small and medium-sized enterprises
