Digital Economy and Theroetical Expansion of Economic Law

Although the development of the digital economy has not changed the basic principles and theories of economic law, it has impacted its related specific theories. Thus, it is particularly necessary to further develop its space theory, entity theory and behavior theory, since space, entity and behavior are the three key factors affecting its application scope. Furthermore, “space diversification,” “entity online platform” and “behavior informatization” based on the digital economy, have created new regulatory issues and need the above specific developments, based on which the modulation theory, information theory, risk theory and rule of law theory of economic law can then also be further developed. Thus, all these developments combined are conducive to advancing the economic-law’s operation theory, norm theory, as well as the ontological and axiological research. In addition, such developments are conducive to strengthening the convincing power and guiding power of economic law theories for the rule of law construction related to the digital economy, to promoting a new development landscape and a modern economic system, and to realizing Chinese modernization.
