On the basis of constructing the common prosperity index and digital economy index,this paper uses the an-nual panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020 to empirically analyze the influence mechanism of digital econo-my on common prosperity by setting the fixed effect model and the intermediary effect model,finding that the digital econo-my can effectively promote common prosperity,which still remains true after the economy robustness test.The digital econo-my contributes to the realization of common prosperity by promoting industrial structure upgrading,industrial efficiency im-provement,industrial innovation and industrial green development.Further research shows that digital economy has dimen-sional and regional heterogeneity in promoting common prosperity,that is,digital infrastructure construction has a stronger effect on promoting common prosperity,while digital industrialization has a weaker effect;the promotion effect of eastern region is more obvious than that of central and western region.Accordingly,it is necessary to further consolidate the con-struction of digital infrastructure,promote industrial upgrading in an all-round way,and formulate differentiation and differ-entiation policies in order to help achieve common prosperity.
