Empirical evidence reveals digital economy policy enhances entrepreneurial vitality in the logistics industry, indicating significant effects in advanced and e-commerce cities.
Abstract Digital economy policy, functioning as the bedrock upon which the digital economy thrives, holds a seminal role in igniting the entrepreneurial vitality within the logistics industry. This study utilizes panel data from 277 cities in China spanning the period 2009–2022 to investigate the impact of digital economy policy on the entrepreneurial vitality of the logistics industry. The results unequivocally demonstrate that digital economy policy significantly elevates the entrepreneurial vitality of the logistics industry. Mechanism analysis elucidates that digital economy policy achieves this through three fundamental avenues: fostering the development of digital infrastructure, amplifying digital innovation vitality, and nurturing a talent pool. Moreover, heterogeneity analysis reveals a more pronounced positive influence of digital economy policy in advanced cities and e-commerce demonstration cities.
