数字经济高质量发展已经成为引领我国经济实现结构转型的一大重要方向，是推动我国经济高质量、可持续发展的主要动力之一。在数字经济背景下，如何促进数字经济企业高水平的国际合作以及技术创新将显得尤为重要。2021年，商务部、中央网信办、工业和信息化部印发的《数字经济对外投资合作工作指引》，提出“鼓励数字经济企业加快布局海外研发中心、产品设计中心，汇聚全球创新要素，加强与境外科技企业在大数据、5G、人工智能、区块链等数字技术领域开展合作，联合研发前沿技术”。2022年，联合国贸发会议发布的《全球投资趋势监测报告》（以下称“报告”），聚焦于数字经济跨国企业的高速发展。报告中显示，在100强数字经济跨国企业里，发展中国家的企业数量明显增加，其中包括多家中国企业。此外，报告还特别强调了我国的一些数字经济跨国企业的高水平国际化程度。因此，在数字经济企业海外投资合作过程中，我们需要深入了解企业内部和外部创新活动如何影响海外投资合作，探讨企业内外部之间如何实现技术转移以及技术溢出，探讨如何推动数字技术在金融行业的应用，了解国际投资在多大程度上推动数字经济和实体经济深度融合，评估技术跨境合作的前因后果，探讨如何增强跨境技术合作，加快跨境技术的转移以及加强技术转移的效应，探讨国家或区域创新系统以及产业集群对数字经济企业境外技术合作的重要性，并深入了解数字经济企业技术创新战略。

在此背景下，上海立信会计金融学院、上海对外经贸大学与Economic Modelling、International Journal of Finance & Economics期刊联合举办“数字经济背景下国际投资与技术创新”研讨会，拟定于2023年12月17日在上海举行。会议计划邀请《Economic Modelling》《International Journal of Finance & Economics》《经济学动态》《财经研究》《上海财经大学学报》等中英文期刊编辑莅会。研讨会征文议题（包括但不限于）：

· 数字经济背景下国际投融资的新机遇和挑战有哪些？数字化多大程度上影响跨境投融资，如何实现更高水平跨境投资融资？

The Conference Call for Papers

International Investment andTechnological Innovation

in the Digitalized World

 Submission due date: 3rd December 2023

Conference date: 17th December 2023

Increasingly, the digital economy has become an important driving force for achieving the structural transformation of economy, and it has been regarded as an important impetus for high-quality and sustainable development. In the context of digitalisation, how to promote international investment and technological innovation to a high standard is now considered vital. In 2021, the Ministry of Commerce, as well as the Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission of China, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology provided the guidelines on International Investment and Cooperation of Digital Economy. It offers guidelines for digital companies to accelerate the layout of overseas R&D centers and product design centers, to gather global endowments for innovation, and to promote international cooperation in the cutting-edge technologies in the fields of Big Data, 5G, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, among others. In 2022, Global Investment Trends Monitor released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development has its focus on the rapid growth of digital multinational enterprises. As reported by the UNCTAD, the number of developing country companies listed in the global top 100 digital companies has significantly increased. Among the global top 100 list, a few of them are Chinese multinational enterprises having a great level of internationalisation.

When digital companies engage in the cross-border cooperation, it is imperative for us to advance our understanding about how innovation activities occurring within or outside the geographical boundaries of the firms affect cross-border cooperation, to explore how intra- and inter- firm knowledge transfer as well as knowledge spillovers influence international enterprises; to explore how to promote the use of digital technologies in the financial sector, and to understand to what extent international investment can promote the integration between the digital economy and the real economy. This conference not only evaluates the antecedents and consequences of cross-border technology cooperation activities, but also explores the factors that can augment or attenuate international knowledge flows. The conference also explores the importance ofnational or regional innovationsystems as well as industry clusters in the cross-border technology cooperation, and aims to understand in-depth in regard to the strategies of the firms in fostering innovation activities of digital companies.

In this context, Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance, Shanghai University of International Business and Economics, Economic Modelling, and International Journal of Finance & Economics jointly held a conference on “International Investment and Technological Innovation in the Digitalised World”. The planned date for this conference is the 17^th of December 2023 in Shanghai. The conference has invited the Editors of Chinese and English journals including《Economic Modelling》,《International Journal of Finance & Economics》,《Economic Perspectives》,《Journal of Finance and Economics》, and《Journal of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics》, among others.The aim of this conference is to bring together papers with empirical modelling that address, but are not limited to, the following potential research questions:

- Why is it important for multinational enterprises to seek technology cooperation internationally in the digitalized world? What are the implications of this for emerging market firms seeking to upgrade their competitiveness? What are the implications of facilitating international knowledge flows for emerging market firms seeking sustainable development?

- What are the new opportunities and challenges of international investment and financing in the digital economy? To what extent has digitization affected the cross-border investment and financing, and how to achieve high-quality cross-border investment and financing?

- How to promotehigh-quality digital transformationinthefinancial sector? How to improve the efficiency of cross-border investment and financing through the use of digital technologies? How to promote the use of digital technology in the financial sector?

- To what extent has international investment facilitatedan in-depth integrationof the digital economy and the real economy? In this process, how to promote high-quality technology cooperation and innovation?

- What are the specific mechanisms or channels through which MNEs employ to transfer knowledge in the digitalized world? How has the digital technology impacted international knowledge flows? What are the strategies that MNEs use to maximize the benefit of international knowledge flows?

- How to evaluate the intra- and inter- firm knowledge flows? How has digitalization impacted MNEs? What are the implications of developing country innovation strategies for global value chains governance?

-How should digital companies effectively identify, transfer and integrate cross-border technologies? How would international technology transfer expediate high-quality development for digital companies?

-How have investment risks affected investment and financing patterns of multinational enterprises? To what extent would digital companies be able to identify and circumvent international investment risks?

- How different between the digital sectors and non-digital sectors in terms of international knowledge flows? What are the antecedents and consequences of knowledge seeking activities? What is the role of the digital economy? What are the strategies for digital firms to augment the knowledge transfer effect?

- How important is national or regional innovation systems as well as industry clusters in fostering innovation activities of foreign subsidiaries abroad? How to maximize the benefits from intra- and inter- firm knowledge flows? How have home and host country environments impacted knowledge flows? How has the location choice impacted international knowledge flows?
