Data as a Factor of Production Promoting the Deep Integration of the Digital Economy and the Real Economy:Theoretical Logic and Analysis Framework

Data is the primary factor of production in the digital economy,playing a role in promoting the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy and smoothing the national economic cycle.After entering the circulation system of the real economy,data is rapidly integrated into production,circulation,consumption,distribution,and other links.It optimizes resource allocation,unblocks circulation channels,promotes accurate matching of supply and demand,stimulates emerging demand,and forms a virtuous circle of digital technology application,traditional physical enterprise transformation,and technological innovation.Integrated development is an important feature of the digital economy.Data promotes the integration of factors of production,products,enterprises,industries,and markets,which fosters a circular system with deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy.To promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy,the government and business entities should take measures to improve the circular efficiency of the digital economy and the real economy.These measures include attaching importance to the role of data-driven development,improving data capacity,data development,and utilization in enterprises,exploring diverse circulation models of enterprise data,and creating typical application scenarios and industrial data spaces.

Research on the Impact and Opportunities of the Digital Economy Promoting the Development of Real Economy

The digital economy has infused vitality into the transformation and development of the real economy,urging enterprises to break through core technological barriers,address bottleneck issues,and improve their core competitiveness.It fosters the comprehensive digital transformation of agriculture,manufacturing,and service sectors,improving the dynamism of the real economy and fostering more consumption hotspots.Efforts are underway to enhance industrial supply chains and innovation chains,optimize regional resource allocation,and promote a virtuous cycle within the real economy.Initiatives are being undertaken to standardize the development of digital economic platforms,promote the high-quality development of regional economies,and leverage the advantages of the socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics.

Whether the digital economy will successfully encourage the integration of urban and rural development: A case study in China

The digital economy has become an important driver for stimulating economic growth.The digital economy has now widely penetrated the fields of economy and society,providing new opportunities for the develop‐ment of urban-rural integration.Based on panel data for 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020,this study constructed an index system for the integration of the digital economy and the development of urban-rural areas and conducted a systematic measurement analysis.Additionally,we used a two-step system of GMM estimation to analyze the impact of the digital economy on the development of urban-rural integra‐tion.The findings demonstrate the significant imbalance paradox of China’s digital economy development,which is shown in a gradient where the eastern region is higher than the center and the central region is higher than the west.Urban-rural integration levels in China fluctuate and display geographical variance,typically displaying high levels in the east and low levels in the west.Urban-rural integration is significantly encouraged by the digital economy,yet it varies in variability between different areas and dimensions.Addi‐tionally,rural human capital moderates the favorable effects of the digital economy on urban-rural integra‐tion.As a result,in order to achieve the integrated development of urban and rural areas,it is imperative to fully exploit the active role of the digital economy,better support the development of rural revitalization,bridge the“digital divide”between urban and rural development,and build a strong foundation for the for‐mation of a digital urban-rural integrated development pattern with urban and rural areas and common con‐struction and sharing.

Promoting the Real Economy by the Integration of Digital Technology and the Real Economy:On the Influence to Biased Technical Change

The deep integration of digital technology and the real economy is a vital engine for boosting high-quality growth of the real economy.As a result,it is necessary to investigate the effects of this integration on the real economy.This paper develops a two-sector model that incorporates the production sector and the technology research and development sector,taking into account both the factor attribute and the technical attribute of digital technology.Digital capital,general capital,skilled labor,and unskilled labor are considered as intermediate inputs in the model.Furthermore,this paper examines the effects of two integration modes,i.e.,factor-based integration and technology-based integration,on the development of the real economy and the biased technical change from a theoretical perspective.Empirical tests are conducted to support the analysis.The findings indicate that both factor-based integration and technology-based integration contribute positively to the development of the real economy,although technology-based integration exhibits diminishing marginal effects.Heterogeneity analysis reveals that factor-based integration plays a more significant role in promoting the development of the real economy in regions with geographical advantages,low levels of human resources,high marketization levels,or low market segmentation.On the other hand,technology-based integration assumes a greater role in facilitating the development of the real economy in regions with geographical disadvantages,low costs on human resources,low marketization levels,or high market segmentation.Further analysis demonstrates that the integration of digital technology and the real economy leads to digital capital-biased technical change and skilled labor-biased technical change.Therefore,it is imperative for the public sector to encourage the expansion of both factor-based integration and technology-based integration in the real economy.Additionally,it is also important to develop a reasonable industry layout plan and enhance the skill level of workers to address the rising demand for relevant factors resulting from changes in the biased technical change.

Analysis of the Model and Mechanism for Integrated Development of the Digital Economy and the Real Economy

Promoting integrated development of the digital economy and the real economy is a strategic endeavor for China to bolster the burgeoning driving force of the real economy,establish a modern industrial system,achieve high-quality economic growth,and elevate international competitiveness.The essence of integrated development of the digital economy and the real economy lies in the restructuring and upgrading of input factors and production and operational models within traditional enterprises,enabling traditional enterprises to undergo a digital intelligence transformation and upgrade.This transformation is achieved by harnessing data factors,digital technologies,and digitalized intelligent products provided by the digital economy sector.In practice,the integration of the digital economy and the real economy takes place by incorporating digital technologies into the production and operational nodes of traditional enterprises,leading to the implementation of diverse integration modes,each with its own unique level of efficiency.At present,it is imperative for China to establish a division of labor and cooperation mechanism characterized by an efficient market and a proactive government to further promote integrated development of the digital economy and the real economy.

Promoting the Deep Digital-Real Economy Integration:Theory and Practice

With the rapid development and widespread application of new-generation digital technologies,the digital economy is playing an increasingly important role in driving China's high-quality economic development.As economic growth drivers undergo transformation,studying how to promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy(digital-real economy integration)holds significant strategic importance.In general,the digital-real economy integration of China has made impressive advancements,becoming an irreversible trend.Nonetheless,there persist challenges that necessitate attention,such as the imperative to strengthen underlying technology support and improve the quality of integration.By integrating specific application scenarios of digital technology with traditional enterprise theory,we can gain a comprehensive understanding of how the digital economy empowers innovation and development in traditional enterprises,thereby facilitating the exploration of practical paths for the deep digital-real economy integration.A thorough examination of the main forms and connotations of this deep integration allows us to analyze specific paths across three key dimensions:product layer,enterprise layer,and industry layer.By adopting this approach,a research framework that promotes the deep digital-real economy integration can be established.

Digital Economy: A Vision From The Future

The article shows that the foundation of the digital economy can be a new paradigm for predicting the future from the future,i.e.from the future in which the development goal has already been achieved.This allows to minimize all costs and completely avoid incorrect system solutions of the existing trial-and-error approach.Using the achievements of the technological revolution of Industry 4.0,an effective digital economy can be formed only when it is seen as an economy of coordinated interests between the state,business,society and the interests of each individual in real time at every local level.This will make it possible to solve the problem of ensuring the high quality of life not of citizens in general,but of each individual.

A Theory of Digital Economy Development:An Examination of the Practice of Chinese Platforms

Grasping the development trends and patterns of the digital economy and promoting the integrated development of the digital and the real economy is a strategic choice for China's construction of new competitive advantages.Based on case studies of the growth of e-commerce,this paper develops five microeconomic propositions about the following issues:the microeconomic features of data factor that differ from traditional production factors;optimal decision-making for digital enterprises;“data+platform”architecture,data transaction governance,and digital infrastructure supply.We apply these theoretical propositions to enterprise innovative practices in different application scenarios such as driverless vehicles and manufacturing digitalization.This paper provides a systematic and consistent theoretical framework for analyzing platform business model innovation and accurately identifying issues of institutional construction that promote the integrated development of the digital and the real economy.

Data-Empowered High-Quality Economic Development: Mechanisms and Pathways

To achieve high-quality economic development,it is imperative to prioritize the real economy and foster new factors for economic growth.Data,as a new factor of production,plays a pivotal role in facilitating the seamless integration between digital technology and the real economy.It possesses inherent attributes and techno-economic characteristics that enable the extraction of value across various processes,including production,transaction,consumption,and regulatory supervision.The integration with digital technology enhances the productivity and efficiency of the real economy by facilitating service sector digitalization,accelerating the growth of the new real economy,and supporting the virtual economy in its role of serving the real economy.At present,unleashing the value of data is hindered by inadequate fundamental systems for the data,a lack of activity in the transaction market,and the underutilization of the data as a factor of production by enterprises in the real economy.Therefore,it is advised that data be fully utilized to develop the real economy through the four-pronged approach of“enhancing support for the high-quality provision of the data,expediting the integration of the data into the real economy,promoting the high-quality development of the real economy,and enhancing public service and governance systems”.
