Abstract
The rapid growth of digital technology and inclusive finance in the Chinese has filled the coverage gaps of traditional financial institutions. This paper explores the relationship between the extent of digital finance use and the ineffectiveness of business investment. Empirical evidence detailed illustrates that the extent of digital finance reduces the effectiveness of the investment. On average, an increase of 1 unit in the depth of digital finance will increase the ineffective level of investment by 0.48 units. Furthermore, analysis of heterogeneity shows that digital finance has a greater influence on the effectiveness of corporate investments. The research of this paper shows that we should prevent the excessive financialization of enterprises from affecting investment efficiency and make the real economy operate in a reasonable range. According to the empirical results, this paper suggests that policymakers should pay due attention to the negative effects of digital finance while promoting the development of the digital economy to avoid inefficient investment caused by excessive financialization.
