Abstract

In this study, a multi-dimensional digital economy evaluation index system is constructed to explore the impact of fiscal Science and Technology (S&T) expenditure on digital economy development in China. We reveal the following findings. First, we note that the China’s digital economy level as a whole is rising each year, which is less affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Second, we document that S&T expenditures positively stimulate digital economy development. Finally, we find that the promotion effect of S&T expenditure on the digital economy is statistically significant, and this promotion effect decreases from the southwest to the northeast due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
