Analysis on the influence of digital economy on manufacturing transfer

Abstract

Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2010 to 2020, the entropy method is used to measure the digital economy, and the fixed-effect model is used to explore the impact of digital economy on manufacturing transfer. The results show that: (1) The digital economy will have an inverted U-shaped impact on the manufacturing industry, that is, the digital economy will promote the transfer of manufacturing within a certain range, but after reaching a certain extent, it will inhibit the transfer of manufacturing; (2) An increase in the producer price index and a decline in the per capita road area will significantly promote the transfer of manufacturing; (3) The level of digital economy in Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces is among the best.
