ABSTRACT
The development of the sports industry, especially the green sports industry, under the low-carbon
economy is of great significance to realizing a carbon neutrality goal. This study selects the data from
2008-2022 to verify the influence effect of digital development and energy consumption structure
on the green development of sports industry (GDSI) and concludes as follows: (1) The GDSI has
significant spatial autocorrelation, and with the change of time, spatial autocorrelation rises. (2) Digital
development can promote the GDSI, and there is a spatial spillover effect. The energy consumption
structure inhibits the improvement of the GDSI, and there is also a spatial spillover effect. The digital
economy not only promotes the local GDSI but also has a significant effect on the GDSI in other regions;
the direct, indirect, and total effects of the energy consumption structure are all significantly negative
and pass the test of significance, which means coal consumption not only inhibits the local GDSI but
also has a spatial spillover effect. (3) Digital development promotes the GDSI by improving the energy
consumption structure, and 7.69% of the effect is realized by improving the energy consumption
structure.
