我国大陆地区间数字鸿沟的测度与分析

Measuring the Digital Divide in China： A Cross-Province Analysis of Phone and Intemet Penetration

文章利用2000至2010年固话普及率、移动电话普及率和互联网普及率三个指标的数据，借助基尼系数法、绝对差距法和相对差距法三种方法计算了我国大陆地区各省、市、自治区和东中西三大区域间的数字鸿沟状况及其变化趋势。研究发现，我国大陆地区数字鸿沟的绝对差距还很大，但相对差距有了较大的改观。大陆地区的数字鸿沟主要来自于东部和中西部之间的差异，而三大区域内部的数字鸿沟并不大。

This study is to measure the digital divide in China by using phone and Intemet penetration rate of 31 provinces in China's Mainland over the 2000-2010 period. Findings show that the digital divide in China is still wide. The digital divide between Eastern China and Central-Western China is the main portion of the total digital divide in China.
