Based on the panel data of 57 countries from 2011 to 2021, this paper empirically examines the impact of digital infrastructure on the quality of a country’s service trade exports. The research shows that: digital infrastructure has a promoting effect on the quality of a country’s service trade exports, and this conclusion passes the endogenous test and robustness test. Digital infrastructure affects the quality of service trade exports mainly through the effect of industrial upgrading, the effect of reducing communication costs and the strengthening effect of local market scale. The heterogeneity test found that digital infrastructure has a stronger promoting effect on the quality of service trade exports in non-RCEP members, countries with a low proportion of emerging service exports, and countries with high trade communication costs. Therefore, accelerating the shaping of new advantages in digital infrastructure is an effective way to promote the high-quality development of China’s service trade.展开更多
