ABSTRACT

Regional economy is the microcosm of national economy and the basis of steady growth of national economy as a whole. Its traditional research mainly relies on the way of economic census to obtain the corresponding economic indicators, but the whole process is costly, time-consuming and low real-time. At present, the characteristics of economic digitization in China are becoming more and more prominent. Big data has gradually become an important driving force in the study of economic situation because of data availability, data collection, real-time and abundant data. Regional economic research based on big data has become one of the research hotspots. This paper summarizes the achievements of China’s regional economic research based on big data from five aspects of Internet, social interaction, education, transportation and tourism, and probes into the existing problems and future development trends.
