Abstract

This paper constructs an empirical model that includes digital finance, e-commerce development, and regional trade development, and selects 297 prefecture-level cities in China from 2010 to 2023 as samples for analysis. The study finds that the development of digital finance significantly promotes regional trade development. The mediation effect analysis shows that the development of digital finance diversifies the financing channels for e-commerce enterprises, drives the upgrading and transformation of related industries, and promotes regional trade development. The heterogeneity analysis reveals that the development of digital finance significantly promotes trade development in western regions but has no significant impact on eastern and central regions, which may be related to the different levels of financial development in these regions.

本文构建了包含数字金融、电子商务发展和区域贸易发展的实证模型，选取2010 - 2023年中国297个地级市作为样本进行分析。研究发现，数字金融的发展显著促进了区域贸易的发展。中介效应分析表明，数字金融的发展丰富了电子商务企业的融资渠道，带动了相关产业的升级转型，促进了区域贸易发展。异质性分析显示，数字金融发展对西部地区贸易发展有显著促进作用，而对东部和中部地区没有显著影响，这可能与这些地区金融发展水平不同有关。
