Abstract: This study examines the effect of digital government policies on regional innovation levels. The findings indicate that implementing a digital government policy significantly boosts the number of patent applications per capita. Digital government policies are particularly effective in regions with advanced marketization, robust intellectual property rights protection, superior network infrastructure levels and supportive business credit conditions.
