Abstract
<p>This study investigates the impact of the digital trade on energy consumption, as well as its mechanism, from 2014 to 2022 by developing a digital trade evaluation index system. We find that the growth of the digital trade can reduce per capital energy consumption and also passes various robustness tests. The main influencing mechanism is that the digital trade affects energy structure transformation and changes in final demand, which results in lower energy consumption. In terms of the spatial distribution, the digital trade decreases per capital energy consumption more in the eastern regions and promotes per capital energy consumption reduction less in the central regions, whereas there is no significant correlation in the western regions. The findings extend the benefits of the digital trade beyond economic and social welfare benefits and provide a consultation for digital economy for green development.</p>
