Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/article-withdrawal).

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors-in-Chief.

Structural Change and Economic Dynamics was alerted to potential plagiarism issues with the paper on 15^th January, 2025. The Editors-in-Chief of Structural Change and Economic Dynamics substantiated the plagiarism allegation as the evidence clearly shows that this paper is merely a replication of the first paper listed below, featuring nearly identical equations, tables, and even similar conclusions and implications, albeit with a different dataset, and without appropriate citations for both the two papers listed below.

数字经济,创业活跃度与高质量发展——来自中国城市的经验证据

数字金融与资源型地区产业结构转型升级——基于109个资源型城市的实证分析

The authors disagreed with the finding of plagiarism, and stated that it is common practice for Chinese scholars to remove Chinese references before publishing articles in English journals. The Editors-in-Chief do not find the authors' justification convincing, and have lost confidence in the integrity and validity of the article. Consequently, the Editor-in-Chief team have therefore decided to retract the article. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the publication process.
