The use of information technology is expanding quickly across most industries. Innovation in information technology is inextricably connected to the development of the finance industry. A new financial model called "digital finance" was formed by the penetration of digital technologies into the financial industry. Digital finance, green innovation, digital transformation, and other themes increasingly emerge in the context of the information age and sustainable development, with digital finance being especially popular. In the post-epidemic period, promoting digital finance actively is seen as an efficient way to achieve innovation advancement and sustainable economic development in an effort to lessen the negative pressure on the global economy.
This special issue is, therefore, aimed at promoting research broadly related to digital finance in China and around the world. The theme of this special issue (SI) is “Digital Finance”. All types (empirical and theory) of papers on this theme are welcomed. In this regard, the special issue encourages submissions of topics that broadly cover the theme of digital finance from the perspective of sustainable development.
