Abstract

Abstract: his paper finds that low-carbon pilot policies, positively moderated by enterprise digitalization, boost employment scale via two synergistic effects: (1) resource synergy cuts operational costs and expands production; (2) innovation synergy enhances innovation capacity and quality. Heterogeneity analysis shows that this employment-stabilizing effect is stronger in non-resource-based cities and non-heavily polluting industries. Further research indicates that the synergy also has skill displacement and complementary effects, raising demand for high-skilled labor and driving employment restructuring.

Key words: Low-carbon City Pilot, Enterprise Digital Transformation, Employment Stabilization, High-quality Development of Listed Companies, Double Machine Learning

摘要： 本文从企业高质量发展的“方向”和“动力”角度,探讨低碳试点政策和企业数字化对劳动就业的影响。研究发现:在企业数字化转型的正向调节下,低碳试点政策协同企业数字化提升了劳动就业规模;低碳试点政策协同企业数字化,一方面发挥资源协同效应,降低企业经营成本和扩大企业生产规模,另一方面产生创新协同效应,改善企业创新禀赋和提高企业创新质量;低碳试点政策协同企业数字化的稳就业作用在非资源型城市、非重污染行业更明显;低碳试点政策与企业数字化的协同还发挥技能替代效应和技能互补效应,使企业更倾向于雇佣高技能劳动力,从而促进就业结构升级。
