Digital Economy and Innovation Policies

The development of digital technologies has profoundly transformed the innovation activities of competitive enterprises. This research field incorporates the key characteristics of the digital economy, such as digitalization, network effects, and platform barriers, into the analytical framework of industrial economics, reexamining the relationship between competition and innovation, which holds significant theoretical significance.

Digital Economy and New Governance Models

The thriving digital economy drives innovation and disrupts traditional industries while posing challenges to government antitrust measures and various governance models. This research area aims to construct a theoretical framework for the scientific regulation of digital economy antitrust, addressing this significant challenge.

Digital Transformation Development and Risk Management

With the development of digital transformation, data has become the core element determining market competition in the digital economy. Although China has made significant progress in constructing data element markets, there is still room for improvement in terms of scale, structure, and operational mechanisms. This research field will focus on micro-mechanism design related to digital regulatory policy and consumer information protection.

Digital Currency and Financial Technology
