Based on the matching the fifth China General Survey data(CGSS)and provincial statistics,this paper uses a panel fixed-effects model to mainly explore the impact and mechanism of the digital economy on residents'perception of fairness.It is found that digital economic development can signifi-cantly improve residents'perception of fairness,and the conclusions are robust.Mechanism analysis shows that digital economic development can help reduce socioeconomic inequality and thus improve resi-dents'perception of fairness.The digital economy has a more prominent effect on the perception of fair-ness of urban residents in the eastern and western regions,and helps to improve the perception of fair-ness of disadvantaged groups,with obvious social support effects.Therefore,the development of the digi-tal economy should be supported and guided in order to further develop the role of the digital economy in promoting social equity and justice.
