Abstract
As an important driving force and new kinetic energy, digital economy is promoting the development of economy in the direction of high quality, and brings new opportunities and challenges to the development of real economy and the upgrading and optimization of industrial structure. Therefore, this paper measures the digital economy from the two aspects of “digital industrialization” and “industrial digitization”, and selects the data of 30 provinces and cities from 2012 to 2019 to empirically study its impact on the upgrading and optimization of China’s industrial structure. Through the research, it is found that digital economy can indeed improve the level of upgrading and optimization of industrial structure. At the same time, further analysis shows that the degree and mechanism of improving the level of eastern, central and western regions will be different according to different regions. Finally, according to the research results, this paper puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions to promote the development of digital economy and the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure in China.
Highlights
"The 14th Five-Year Plan" puts forward: digital economy has become the core driving force of development, and has made outstanding contributions in promoting high-quality economic development, improving reform efficiency, and promoting the transformation and upgrading of the real economy
It is necessary to promote the healthy development of platform economy and sharing economy, promote digital industrialization and industrial digitization, and promote the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, it points out the direction for the development of digital economy in China
In 1996, the American scholar Tapscott first pointed out the meaning of digital economy, but he mainly studied the new situation of economic system after the popularization of information superhighway in the United States, and did not clearly explain the meaning of digital economy
Summary
"The 14th Five-Year Plan" puts forward: digital economy has become the core driving force of development, and has made outstanding contributions in promoting high-quality economic development, improving reform efficiency, and promoting the transformation and upgrading of the real economy. China is actively transforming the driving force of growth, changing the form of development and optimizing the economic structure in order to achieve the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure. In this process, the integration of digital economy and real economy provides opportunities and challenges for promoting high-quality economic development. We should seize the new momentum of digital economy, clarify its influence mechanism on the optimization and upgrading of China's industrial structure, and explore the relevant measures to achieve the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the realization of high-quality economic development. The method of replacing independent variables is used to test the robustness to ensure the accuracy of the research conclusions
