Digital economy has become an important pillar of China's national economy.Focusing on the theme of measuring the development level of digital economy in Shandong Province,this paper compares and analyzes the differences between Shandong Province and Zhejiang Province,summarizes the spatial layout characteristics of digital economy development in Shandong Province,and establishes a grey prediction model.The research shows that:firstly,the development level of digital economy in Shandong Province is relatively high,ranking first in the second echelon of the country,but the digital infrastructure is relatively weak,which is the main short board restricting the development of digital economy in Shandong Province;secondly,the imbalance in the spatial development of digital economy is prominent.Qingdao and Jinan are the two major centers of digital economy in Shandong Province,while the development of other cities is relatively weak;thirdly,the prediction shows the development of digital economy in Shandong Province will maintain a rapid upward trend.Therefore,Shandong Province should strengthen exchanges and cooperation with other prov-inces,learn from the experience of provinces with advantages in the development of digital economy,and make up for the shortcomings.At the same time,we should make full use of advantages of digital economy of cities in Shandong Province to promote its internal development.The first echelon is expected to jointly develop the digital economy and guide the second and third echelons to integrate into the development of digit-al economy in Shandong Province.
