Abstract

This paper picks information from 31 parts of China between 2013 and 2022 to look at how the growth of online business impacts the development of real-world trading. A method called entropy was used to figure out how much each marker of growth in the internet economy should count. A method called linear weighting was used to combine different factors and create an index that shows the level of growth. Once the list was made, this study used linear regression analysis to see if the online business world has any effect on real economy. The findings show that the online business greatly impacts the physical or traditional business. Continuously making the online world better can keep aiding in the growth of real, physical world. This article recommends that governments should put more money into the online economy to aid long-term growth in a positive way for real businesses.
