The influence of AI application on carbon emission intensity of industrial enterprises in China – Scientific Reports

Baseline regression result

Table 2 presents the baseline regression results. The regression outcomes elaborated in columns (1) and (2) indicate that, after controlling for time and individual effects, a 1% increase in AI application corresponds to a 0.0413% reduction in carbon emission intensity, achieving a significance level of 1%. Upon incorporating control variables in columns (3), (4), and (5), the model’s goodness-of-fit is further improved. Notably, to ensure the currency of the…
