On October 26th, the School of Economics of Xihua University invited Professor Wang Zhixin of the Department of International Economics and Trade of the School of Economics of Hebei University to give a special lecture. The theme of this lecture was "The Impact of Urban Digital Finance on FDI under the New Development Pattern".
During the forum, Wang Zhixin made a detailed analysis of the economic effects of urban digital finance on FDI and the mechanism behind it. He pointed out that the survey results show that urban digital finance significantly affects FDI and can fully become a new driving force for cities to absorb FDI under the new development pattern, and this conclusion is still true after a series of robustness tests; urban digital finance not only directly affects FDI, but also indirectly plays a positive role in FDI through digital infrastructure; the promotion effect of urban digital finance on FDI shows a significant non-linear feature of increasing "marginal effect", indicating that the Internet" Metcalfe's Law, Moore's Law and Davido's Law play a joint role in the absorption of FDI by cities; the role of urban digital finance in promoting FDI also shows significant geographical heterogeneity, with the effect decreasing from the east to the central to the west. These conclusions provide important enlightenment for China to promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, accelerate the construction of digital infrastructure, and build a new system of high-level opening up.
