英文摘要:
With the arrival of the digital era, the development of digital finance and science and technology innovation in the economic field has attracted more and more attention, which brings new opportunities for achieving high-quality economic development. Based on the panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2013 to 2022, we explored how digital finance and science and technology innovation specifically play a role in regional economic development, and empirically analysed their influence mechanisms. The results of the study show that: digital finance plays a significant positive role in promoting regional economic development, and this conclusion still holds after the robustness test; science and technology innovation plays an intermediary role in the process of digital finance promoting regional economic development; different dimensions of digital finance - breadth of coverage, depth of use and degree of digitisation - have different impacts on regional economic growth are differentiated in their strength, with the breadth of coverage having the most prominent promotional effect, while the depth of use and the degree of digitisation have relatively weaker effects; the enabling effects of weak government intervention and strong human capital are more significant for digital finance to promote regional economic development. In response to the above conclusions, relevant countermeasures are proposed to the problem.
