摘要

Abstract

Against the backdrop of global digital transformation

the digital economy

as a vital component of the new economy

has emerged as a key driver for regional industrial upgrading. This study first establishes conceptual frameworks for digital economy and industrial upgrading. Using principal component analysis

mediation effects

and linear regression

it examines the relationship between Hefei's digital economy development and industrial upgrading. Key findings reveal: 1) Growing integration between digital and real economies

with rising levels of digital industrialization and industrial digitalization; 2) Continuously advancing industrial upgrading in Hefei; 3) A negative correlation between digital economy growth and industrial upgrading. Recommendations include optimizing digital resource allocation

expanding digital infrastructure

increasing education investment for innovative talent development
