Abstract The coordinated development of the digital economy and green economy is a key issue that needs to be addressed. Based on the statistical data of 30 provincial-level regions in China from 2014 to 2019, this study empirically analyzed whether China's digital economy and green economy can achieve coordinated development. In this study, a coupling coordination degree model was used to evaluate the degree of coordinated development of the digital economy and green economy in provincial regions of China. A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis method was adopted to identify the realization path of the coordinated development of the digital economy and green economy. The results show the following: (1) the coordinated development degree of the digital economy and green economy in China shows an upward trend from primary coordination in 2014 to intermediate-level coordination in 2019, with great differences between different regions; (2) there are five paths to achieve coordinated development of the digital economy and green economy, which are divided into two categories (technology-environment dual-drive type, and technology-organization-environment linkage drive type); (3) technological innovation capability and government financial support can substitute for one another under certain conditions to achieve the coordinated development of the digital economy and green economy. These conclusions provide a theoretical basis for countries to formulate policies to promote the coordinated development of their digital economy and green economy.
