Abstract

As a cutting-edge financial business model under the deep integration of technology and finance, digital finance may have an underlying impact on the development of the real economy. Using Chinese manufacturing private listed firms from 2011-2018 as a sample, this paper empirically examines the impact of digital finance on the investment expenditure of private firms. The study reveals that digital finance can significantly promote the increase in investment expenditure level of private firms. Further research shows that the promotion effect of digital finance on private firms’ investment is more significant in a high proportion of intangible assets and in areas with weak traditional financial development levels. In general, the development of digital finance helps to alleviate the problem of resource mismatch in Chinese traditional finance, promotes the improvement of firms’ investment level, and plays a positive role in stabilizing fixed asset investment.
