Abstract

This study explores the intricate legal dynamics surrounding industrial productivity within the context of China's digital economy, shedding light on the enduring issue of energy poverty and the nation's transition toward a sustainable energy landscape. Spanning the period from 1990 to 2021 and encompassing all 30 provinces of China, our analysis employs a comprehensive econometric model to uncover the multifaceted relationships between legal frameworks, energy development, and the digital economy. The results of this study reveal the profound impact of legal regulations on energy accessibility and affordability, emphasizing the critical role of transport infrastructure in bridging regional disparities. Furthermore, our findings underscore the transformative potential of China's digital economy in mitigating energy poverty while driving industrial growth. The study findings suggest that policy implications should prioritize the development of a cohesive legal framework incentivizing sustainable energy practices, promoting equitable energy distribution, and harnessing digital innovations to drive China's inclusive and environmentally responsible economic future.
