Based on the panel data of 12 prefecture-level cities in Hubei Province from 2010 to 2020, this paper examines the direct impact and spatial spillover impact of digital economy on the urban-rural integration development of Hubei Province through dual fixed-effect model and spatial econometric model respectively. The intermediary effect model is used to explore the mediating role of factor circulation, optimal allocation, employment drive, consumption increase and structural upgrade in the process of digital economy affecting urban-rural integration and development. Finally, countermeasures and suggestions are put forward. The empirical results show that: Digital economy not only has a direct impact on rural-urban integration in this region, but also has a spillover effect on other regions. While promoting the local rural-urban integration development, it can also promote the improvement of the development level of rural-urban integration in surrounding areas and play a radiating role in driving it. 2 Digital economy is conducive to promoting urban-rural integration and affects the urban-rural integration development of Hubei Province through factor circulation, optimal allocation, employment drive, consumption increase and structural upgrading.

The report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China mentioned that China is facing tightening resource and environmental constraints, environmental pollution, and other issues, and the energy-consuming right trading policy is a key measure to promote green, circular, and low-carbon development in China. Under the dual consideration of ecological benefits and economic benefits, this paper took the pilot launch of energy-consuming trading as a quasi-natural experiment and used panel data from 31 provinces in China from 2009 to 2020 and the different-in-differences method to explore the impact of this policy on the optimization and upgrading of China's industrial structure. The study showed that: (J) The energy-consuming right trading policy could promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, and the promotion effect on the upgrading of the industrial structure outweighed its adverse impact on the rationalization of the industrial structure, as evidenced by a series of robustness tests. © The mechanism analysis showed that the realization paths of industrial structure upgrading were the upgrading of technological innovation and that of energy consumption structure, and the policy suppressed the adverse impact on the rationalization of industrial structure by improving the input structure and output structure of some industrial sectors. © In addition, the pilot policy of energy-consuming rights had obvious regional heterogeneity for the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, which significantly promoted the upgrading of industrial structure in the central and western regions and the rationalization of industrial structure in the eastern regions. This study provides some policy references for the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure from the perspective of improving the energy-consuming right trading market.
