Abstract

This study investigates the link between the digital economy and the resilience of enterprise exports, demonstrating that the digital economy strengthens the resilience of enterprise exports, with supply chain stability acting as a mediating factor. Moreover, the effect of the digital economy on the resilience of enterprise exports differs across regions, depending on the varying levels of the digital economy development in the East, Middle, and West. The findings remain consistent even after conducting robustness and endogeneity tests.
