Based on the perspective of policy upgra-ding,this paper uses difference in difference model and triple differences model to analyze the impact of upgrading from nation-al pilot policy on information for the people to"Internet+Gov-ernment Services"pilot policy on urban digital transformation by using the panel data of 284 cities in China from 2011 to 2019.The study finds that the former pilot policy can effectively pro-mote the urban digital transformation in terms of government gov-ernance and people's lives,but it does not have a significant effect on the digital economic industries,whereas the develop-ment of the above three important dimensions is realized after the policy upgrading.Heterogeneity tests show that the pre-and post-policy upgrade contribute to a sustained policy effect for peripheral cities and cities with medium-level public services,driving the urban digital transformation.The moderating effect indicates that resource allocation efficiency and opening up to the outside world have positive moderating effects on urban digital transformation both before and after the policy upgrading.
