Measurement and Analysis of China's Digital Infrastructure Level
Journal: Modern Economics & Management Forum DOI: 10.32629/memf.v6i1.3562
Abstract
This paper measures the level of digital infrastructure in different provinces of China from 2013 to 2022 using the entropy weight method. The research findings indicate that China's digital infrastructure has been improving over the years, but regional disparities exist, with the eastern region having a higher level compared to the central and western regions. Therefore, it is crucial for each province to strengthen the construction of digital infrastructure to promote the development of the digital economy and achieve balanced regional growth.
