Construction of a digital economy accounting system based on statistical analysis methods

Abstract

For a long time, the economic field has not been able to establish a more unified accounting standard for the digital economy. In this paper, the concept of an input-output table is introduced for the digital economy, and an input-output model for the digital economy is established based on three different types of equilibrium relationships with three types of input-output correlation coefficients. With the help of the demand-side statistical model based on the direct consumption coefficient and the supply-side statistical model based on the direct distribution coefficient, and through the determination of the conversion coefficient matrix, the construction of the accounting system of the digital economy is completed. Based on the statistical analysis method, the added value of “digital industrialization” reached 4,922.23 billion yuan in 2018, and the added value of “industrial digitization” was 5,076.04 billion yuan, and the total added value of digital economy reached 9,998.27 billion yuan in 2018. The digital economy's total value added in 2018 amounted to 9,998.27 billion yuan, roughly 15 times the value added by the digital economy in 2005.
