Abstract: The new or digital economy characterized by informatization, networking, and intelligence is not only changing social productivity, but also reshaping the relationship between social production and commodity value. The analysis of the source and determination of value in the digital economy needs to be carried out within the framework of Marxs labor theory of value. Recognizing key features of the digital economy, this paper divides the labor value into the value of the physical labor and that of the digital labor, and makes a theoretical analysis on this basis. The paper argues that since products enabled by digital technologies have virtualization features such as laborfree, carrierfree and high spillovers embodied, the components of the product value include both the physical labor value and the digital labor value. Among them, the value of digital labor is mainly transferred from the revenue of other sectors and laborers through value transfer, and its size is positively related to the scale of the digital economy. The high spillovers embodied in the product value is reflected in the economies of scale, closely relating to the virtuality of the digital economy.

Key words: digital economy, value of physical labor, value of digital labor, source of value
