Abstract

A spatial threshold model is constructed to examine the spatial threshold effect and attenuation possibility boundary of digital finance on green economic growth (GEG) under the theoretical framework. Results revealed that: (1) Digital finance has a significant single-threshold effect, with high-level digital finance having a stronger incentive effect on local GEG. (2) Digital finance's negative spillover effect on the surrounding GEG increases with an improvement in the former's level. (3) Digital finance's spatial spillover effect on GEG shows distance attenuation of volatility and an attenuation possibility boundary in both stages. (4) Green investment and enterprise emission fees are mechanisms which digital finance can boost GEG; however, it can suppress GEG by encouraging residential consumption.
