Abstract: This study examines the role of digital finance in enhancing the export competitiveness of Chinese corporations, drawing upon a dataset of listed companies spanning the years 2011 to 2022. It delves into the intricate relationship between digital finance and export performance, specifically focusing on the underlying mechanisms related to financing limitations and technological advancements. Our findings reveal that digital finance exerts a notable influence on expanding the export volume of enterprises. This effect is mediated through two primary pathways: mitigating financing constraints and fostering technological innovation.
