Abstract
The rapid advancement of the digital economy is reshaping global trade patterns and driving industrial transformation, with innovation serving as a key catalyst by enhancing technological capacity. The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) region plays a pivotal role in this transformation. This study aims to achieve three research objectives using panel data from 2010 to 2022. First, the level of digital economy development in RCEP countries is assessed using a multidimensional Digital Economy Development Index constructed using principal component analysis. Second, the impact of the digital economy on export performance within RCEP is investigated through a fixed effects model. Third, the impact of the digital economy on exports of electronics, machinery, and automotive in RCEP countries and the role of innovation in affecting these impacts are examined using moderation models.
