Study on Upgrading of Marine Industrial Structure Driven by Digital Economy in Coastal Areas
Under the new historical conditions,digital economy has become a new driving force driving the upgrading of Marine industrial structure and an important driving force leading the high-quality development of Marine economy.Based on clarifying the impact mechanism of the digital economy on the Marine industry structure optimization mechanism,this paper construct a comprehensive evaluation system to measure the digital economy development index and the marine industrial structure upgrade index for 11 coastal areas from 2011 to 2018.At the empirical level,the transmission mechanism,effect,and regional heterogeneity of the digital economy on the upgrading of the Marine industrial structure are tested:Digital economy has a significant positive impact on the upgrading of Marine industrial structure,and presents obvious regional heterogeneity,with the areas north of the Yangtze River Basin gaining more digital economy spillover benefits;Digital economy can drive the upgrading of Marine industrial structure by enhancing the innovation capacity of Marine science and technology.Therefore,in light of the reality of excessive development of marine resources and other issues,to emphasize high-quality development of the Marine,it is necessary to seize the opportunity of digital economy high speed development,perfect the system of the Marine science and technology research and development,transformation and application,promote the development of digital economy and Marine economic integration,increase the efficiency of utilization of Marine resources,thereby helping the Marine industry achieve higher-level development.
