摘要

This research aims to examine the influence of digital service trade on carbon emissions within the economies participating in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The study employs an empirical analysis utilizing national-level data from 2005 to 2020, alongside a theoretical framework based on the "three effects" theory regarding trade's environmental impact. Additionally, a mediation effect model and group regression analysis are employed to explore the underlying mechanisms of the impact of digital service trade on carbon emissions and the variations among countries at different stages of development. The findings of this research indicate that the expansion of digital service trade in RCEP economies can have a positive effect on reducing carbon emissions, attributable to both the scale effect and the technology effect. Moreover, the study reveals that the reduction in carbon emissions resulting from digital service trade is more significant in developing economies within the RCEP. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of leveraging digitalization opportunities to promote the growth of digital service trade as a means of mitigating carbon emissions across RCEP economies.
