Description
Panel data from Chinese inter-provincial border cities from 2014 to 2023 analyzes the impact of digital-economy development on air quality. The dataset, created by Huifu Li and last updated in May 2026, is a 2.4 MB XLSX file available under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It supports a study finding that the digital economy improves air quality, especially in non-contiguous, poverty-stricken areas and regions with lower coordinated development.
Use Cases
Modeling the impact of digital economy development on air quality based on panel data from border cities.
Analyzing spatial-spillover effects of economic policies on atmospheric pollution in adjacent regions.
Investigating the role of regional market segmentation and environmental regulation capacity in air-quality improvement.
Assessing the 'pollution haven' hypothesis during industrial transformation in developing countries.
Strengths
Provides a 10-year panel data series from 2014 to 2023.
Focuses on a specific geographic context: Chinese inter-provincial border cities.
Explicitly examines mechanisms like market segmentation and regulatory capacity.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to its specific focus on Chinese border cities.
