Abstract

In the past few years, the digital economy and digital finance have developed rapidly in China and have had a far-reaching impact on enterprises. By constructing a linear model, this paper evaluates this impact from the perspective of enterprise innovation. The study found that, on average, increasing the coverage of digital finance by one unit will increase the R & D expenditure of enterprises by 0.91%. Heterogeneity analysis found that compared with large-scale enterprises, the development of digital finance has a greater impact on the R & D expenditure of small and medium-sized enterprises.
