“…Enterprises are not independent entities in the market environment; their strategic behavior is influenced by multiple factors from within and outside. Environmental information disclosure, as the primary means for an enterprise to demonstrate its environmental situation and level of environmental governance to the outside world, will impact its green strategy implementation (Zhang J. et al, 2024) and industrial structural adjustment, whether of high or low quality (Liu et al, 2021). According to signaling theory, disclosing environmental information can reduce information asymmetry and opacity, enabling other parties to better understand a company's environmental pollution data (Ye et al, 2023); it also serves as a monitoring mechanism (Cheng et al, 2017).…”

“…For instance, Raza pointed out that capital growth can lower carbon emissions, reduce energy waste, and contribute to energy technology advancement, thus helping to control carbon emissions (Raza and Tang, 2022). Wang highlighted that the level of green finance (Wang et al, 2024), financial technology (Chen W. J. et al, 2024), and economic development (Ji et al, 2024) all contribute to reducing regional carbon emissions and ensuring sustainable development. However, some scholars have also pointed out that foreign investment has a negative impact on curbing carbon emissions (Ma and Zhu, 2024).…”

With the continuous promotion of digitalization and the global trend toward a low-carbon economy, the issue of whether enterprises can enhance their carbon performance with the assistance of digital technology has aroused widespread attention from both academia and industry. In order to explore whether digital technology can improve the carbon performance of manufacturing enterprises, this study, based on resource orchestration theory and signaling theory, utilizes data from China’s A-share manufacturing enterprises from 2012 to 2021 to empirically investigate the relationship between digital technology and the carbon performance of manufacturing firms. It also explores the mediating conduction path and boundary influencing factors between them. Its findings demonstrate that: digital technology is capable of improving carbon performance; green innovation (including green technology and green collaboration) has partially mediating effects; there is a catalytic role for environmental information disclosure in utilizing digital technology to enhance carbon performance. Building on this, we find that the impacts of digital technology, green innovation, and environmental information disclosure on carbon performance vary due to differences in the nature of industries and the strategic aggressiveness of enterprises. Specifically, the role of digital technology on carbon performance seems somewhat more pronounced among firms in the high-tech industry and those employing defensive and analytical strategies. Additionally, the effects generated by green innovation and environmental information are more pronounced in the high-tech industry and among enterprises that adopt analytical strategies. This study reveals the inherent mechanism of digital technology in enhancing the carbon performance of manufacturing enterprises, which provides empirical evidence for the development of digital technology and the improvement of carbon performance in manufacturing enterprises, thus helping promote low-carbon economic transformation.

“…Liu (2023) found that the rural digital economy significantly inhibits agricultural carbon emissions, especially in eastern and western regions and areas with substantial investment in science and technology [ 23 ]. Ji (2024) measured agricultural carbon emissions and pointed out that digitizing the use of fertilizers and improving energy efficiency can help reduce agricultural carbon emissions [ 24 ]. However, Li (2022) argued that digitalization of agricultural inputs does not significantly impact low-carbon total factor productivity in agriculture [ 25 ].…”

“…These studies collectively underscore the importance of optimizing both economic and environmental performance in agricultural practices.Economic evaluations of agricultural production have also been extensively studied. The concept of comparative advantage, fundamental in understanding the economic benefits of different agricultural products, has been well explored [6]. Recent studies further explore the implications of comparative advantage in modern agricultural contexts, emphasizing the need for regions to specialize in crops where they hold an economic edge [7,8].…”

This study aims to provide a scientific basis for the development of county-level agricultural industries through a comprehensive evaluation of the environmental and economic benefits of agricultural products. Focusing on Hancheng City in Shaanxi Province, this paper calculates and analyzes the carbon emission intensity per unit output value and the economic benefits of major agricultural products, assessing their comprehensive advantage indices. The research methods include data collection, data processing, and model construction, utilizing a bi-factor matrix analysis to explore the balance between environmental sustainability and economic profitability of different agricultural products. The results indicate that pepper and vegetables have the highest comprehensive advantages, demonstrating significant economic and environmental benefits, while soybeans show lower comprehensive advantages, requiring improvements in cultivation techniques and management practices. Based on the research findings, this paper proposes policy and management recommendations for different agricultural products, including focusing on the development of high-comprehensive-advantage products, improving cultivation techniques for low-comprehensive-advantage products, promoting green agricultural technologies, establishing a carbon footprint monitoring system for agricultural products, and strengthening agricultural infrastructure construction. The study’s conclusions provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the agricultural development strategies of Hancheng City and similar regions, contributing to the achievement of sustainable agricultural development and carbon reduction goals.
