摘要

Abstract

In this study

I examine the impact of e-commerce expansion on provincial fiscal decentralization in China. My core hypothesis is that the proliferation of digital commerce activity

and the rise of live-streaming commerce in particular

has had a significant impact on local fiscal autonomy by reshaping economic and fiscal strategies. In this paper

I manipulate multiple control variables and interaction terms in the regression model. The findings show that while e-commerce theoretically promotes fiscal decentralization

expected benefits tend to be lower in regions with high Internet penetration due to market saturation and competitive dynamics. Moreover

the interaction between e-commerce sales and stable or rising consumer prices suggests that growth in digital commerce does not always correlate with a proportional increase in local fiscal contributions. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of the impact of the digital economy on fiscal structures

highlighting the need to revise fiscal policies to adapt to different economic conditions across China.
