Abstract

The development of the digital economy realizes the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure by cultivating new industrial formats and promoting the integration of traditional industrial technologies. Based on the data of 30 provinces in China from 2013 to 2022, the four-dimensional index system of informatization, Internet, digital transaction, and digital finance is constructed. Verifying the fixed-effect model shows that the digital economy has a significant role in promoting the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure. It is suggested that priority should be given to strengthening the mechanism of digital infrastructure innovation and R&D and provincial coordinated development.
