The global digital operation of finance has accelerated, and the transformation and upgrading of the financial industry has been fully empowered by digital technology, which has promoted the development of traditional financial industry toward green finance. Accelerating the pace of China's entry into the digital economy era has given the green financial industry new opportunities in its digital transformation. Therefore, the research reported in this paper selects provincial panel data and discusses the impact efficiency of the digital economy on green financial investment in China by static panel OLS and the threshold model method, and constructs a threshold model with regional industry scale and green financial audit as threshold variables. These steps are used to analyze the nonlinear characteristics of digital economy and green financial efficiency. The results show that the digital economy can improve the overall efficiency of China's green finance, and there are two threshold effects with regional industry scale as the threshold variable and one threshold effect with green financial audit support as the threshold variable. The results show that the development of a digital economy improved the investment efficiency of green finance in all provinces of China. In addition, through our research, we found that the application of the digital economy in green finance can reduce the imbalance of regional economic development. China should also strengthen the supervision of green auditing to promote the development of new green financial formats.
全球金融数字化业务加速发展,金融业转型升级全面赋能数字技术,推动传统金融业向绿色金融发展。加快中国进入数字经济时代的步伐,为绿色金融的数字化转型带来了新的机遇。因此,本文选取省级面板数据,运用静态面板 OLS 和门槛模型方法,讨论了数字经济对中国绿色金融投资的影响效率,并构建了以区域产业规模和绿色金融审计为门槛变量的门槛模型,用以分析数字经济和绿色金融效率的非线性特征。结果表明,数字经济可以提高中国绿色金融的整体效率,且存在以区域产业规模为门槛变量的双重门槛效应和以绿色金融审计支持为门槛变量的单一门槛效应。结果表明,数字经济的发展提高了中国各省绿色金融投资的效率。此外,通过研究发现,数字经济在绿色金融中的应用可以减少区域经济发展的不平衡。中国还应加强绿色审计的监督,以促进新的绿色金融模式的发展。
