Abstract

The adoption of digital currency has been a hot topic in recent years, attracting extensive discussions from academia and industry. In this paper, we explore the implications of digital currency adoption for macro economy. Based on the Chinese evidence, this research offers robust evidence that digital currency adoption substantially enhances macroeconomic stability. The effect is even evident in regions with lower financial inclusion and lower GDP. This research takes advantage of the difference-in-differences approach to effectively deal with endogeneity concerns. This study is expected to substantially advance the explosive literature on the consequences of digital currency.
