Research On The Measurement Of Digital Economy Development Level And Regional Differentiation In Jiangxi Province

With the rapid updating and development of modern information technology,big data,artificial intelligence,and cloud computing,the digital economy has become a key driving force for rapid economic development.Since 2016,relevant departments in China have begun to attach importance to the development of the digital economy,and have issued a series of documents to vigorously build a digital village and a digital China.The electronic information industry in Jiangxi Province is booming and there are many traditional industries.In 2022,the White Paper on the Development of Agricultural and Rural Digital Economy in Jiangxi Province(2022)was issued.Jiangxi Province has a solid foundation,broad prospects,and a good development environment in developing the digital economy.Currently,China does not have a complete and accurate indicator system for measuring the development level of the digital economy.Under such circumstances,it is difficult for us to control the measurement standards of the digital economy.Correctly measuring the development level of the digital economy is conducive to in-depth understanding of the development status and problems in the development of the digital economy,and better providing theoretical basis for decision-making in the development of the digital economy.This article combines the actual situation of its digital economy development,establishes a comprehensive measurement index system,and analyzes the status and problems of Jiangxi’s digital economy development.Firstly,this article introduces the evolution and development process from "information economy" to "internet economy" and finally to "digital economy" in China.Summarize the research of domestic and foreign institutions and scholars on the digital economy.Finally,this article defines the digital economy as an activity where consumers,enterprises,and governments rely on digital technology to complete transactions through the integration of the Internet and digital technology.On the basis of the above,a measurement index system for the development level of the digital economy has been established.The weight is obtained using a combination of CRITIC weight method and entropy method.Then take Jiangxi Province as an example to analyze the development of digital economy in Jiangxi Province.Finally,according to geographical location,Jiangxi Province is divided into three regions:northern Jiangxi,middle Jiangxi,and southern Jiangxi.The regional differences and structural characteristics of its digital economy are explained using coefficient of variation,spatial Gini index,and Thiel index.The research results show that the speed of talent construction in the digital economy of Jiangxi Province has not kept pace with the development of digital enterprises,which has hindered the development of the digital economy to some extent.The development of the digital economy in the province is uneven,and the contribution rate of the northern Jiangxi region is significantly higher than that of other regions;The contribution rate of intra regional differences is higher than that of inter regional differences;The integration of application and development environment dimensions is more evident.This article proposes that the government should play a guiding role,rely on Nanchang and other first-mover advantages,cultivate digital economy demonstration areas,drive backward areas to develop the digital economy,and jointly establish talent introduction and training systems with enterprises to supplement the talent gap in the digital economy.
