信息鸿沟实证评价、逻辑推演与对策研究

Study on Information Gap:Empirical Evaluation,Logic Deduction and Countermeasures

随着城镇化进程的深入,我国城乡之间信息鸿沟呈现缩小趋势,但有些指标不容乐观。进一步研究发现:信息产品投入并不符合边际产量递减规律;信息产品投入的差异会导致收入差距扩大;如果将信息服务作为私人物品,则低收入阶层将处于不利地位,这将构成一个恶性循环;如果将信息服务作为公共物品,则有可能在一定程度上缩小城乡之间的信息鸿沟。相关部门要遵循机会均等理念,从教育投入、信息产品市场改革、信息公共服务3个方面增加对农村的投入,尽快缩小城乡之间的信息鸿沟。

As urbanization develops in depth, the information gap between urban and rural areas in China shows a narrowing trend, but some indicators are not optimistic. The findings of further study show that： the input of information products does not conform to the law of diminishing marginal product; the difference of input of information products leads to greater income inequality; if information service is provided as private goods, the lower-income class will be in a disadvantageous position, which will constitute a vicious circle; if the information service is provided as public gOods, it is possible to narrow the information gap between urban and rural areas to a certain extent. We should follow the idea of equal opportunity, increase investment in rural areas from three aspects of education input, information products market reform and information public service, so as to narrow the information gap between urban and rural areas.
