“…There are few studies to establish a comprehensive evaluation index system to calculate the complete index of the digital economy by principal component analysis (PCA) or entropy method (Li et al 2021 ). Zhang et al ( 2023 ) used the entropy method to calculate the Internet composite index and tested the causal relationship between Internet development and energy poverty.…”

With China’s carbon neutrality target and the rapid growth of the digital economy, it is critical to understand how the digital economy can decouple economic growth from carbon emissions. This paper innovatively calculates the digital economy index in China from 2004 to 2019 and explores how the digital economy affects total factor carbon productivity (TFCP) and its spatial spillover effect. The empirical results indicate that (1) the development level of digital economy in eastern provinces is significantly higher than that in other provinces. (2) The digital economy positively promotes TFCP. Interestingly, digital industrialization has a more substantial effect on improving TFCP, while industry digitization has a weaker effect. (3) The digital economy not only helps improve the local TFCP but also has spatial spillovers to the surrounding areas and has the most prominent effect on the TFCP of the northern. (4) The digital economy affects TFCP through four channels industrial digital upgrading, human capital, market integration, and resource allocation. (5) The effects of the digital economy on TFCP exhibit significant heterogeneity in terms of time, region, and pollution degree. The findings of this study have important policy implications for promoting the transition to the digital economy and low-carbon development.

This study looked at whether insecure attachment style among Chinese university students categorized as "Gen Z" is predictive of various types of Internet addiction using an online survey. Using simple random sampling, 796 Chinese university students (581 valid questionnaires) were chosen as participants. The chi-square test results showed a strong correlation between insecure attachment style and addiction to online gaming and relationships, but not with addiction to online information. Online gaming and online relationship addiction were positively connected with anxious and fearful avoidant attachment, according to binary logistic regression studies, but dismissive avoidant attachment did not demonstrate any significant correlation. These results imply that online relationships and game addiction are partially predicted by an insecure attachment type.
