Empirical Study Based on the Linkage Mechanism of “Internet +” and “industry 4.0”

First of all, the author briefly analyzes the economic, international and political environment where the concept of “Internet +” “industry 4.0” and “Chinese manufacturing 2025”has been proposed, as well as explains the concept idea and the national thirteenth Five-Year Plan for the industrial and economic development strategy. Secondly, the author summarizes the theoretical research on the concept of “Internet +”. It is found that in previous studies, many scholars have studied the “Internet +” and “industry 4.0”, which is usually from the perspective of the idea, covering less qualitative and quantitative research. Finally, the VEC model and the impulse response are established based on the monthly data from September 2009 to May 2012 as the sample. The study found that the Internet and industrial development has a positive impact on each other and the development of the Internet industry has a more significant impact on the industrial development, thus verifying the feasibility of the “industry 4.0” and “China manufacturing 2025” strategy.
