数字经济发展对城乡收入差距的影响研究

Research on the Influence of Digital Economy Development on Urban-rural Income Gap

本文从理论上分析了数字经济发展水平对城乡居民收入差距的影响机理,并利用2009—2017年省级面板数据进行了实证研究。研究发现:数字经济发展水平对城乡收入差距的影响呈先扩大后缩小的"倒U型"态势;数字经济发展水平对城乡收入差距存在门槛效应。人均收入水平越高、研发强度越大,数字经济对城乡收入差距缩小的作用效应越明显;"一带一路"建设、对外开放程度扩大,也有利于城乡收入差距缩小。为此,论文探讨了对策建议,以期为更好地发挥数字经济发展对缩小我国城乡收入差距的作用提供有益的思路。

The paper theoretically analyzes the mechanism of the impact of digital economy development level on the income gap between urban and rural residents and conducts an empirical study using the provincial panel data from 2009 to 2017. The results show that the influence of the development level of the digital economy on the urban-rural income gap presents the “inverted U-shaped” trend of first expanding and then narrowing, and the threshold effect exists in the development level of the digital economy on the urban-rural income gap. The higher the per capita income level and the greater the R&D intensity, the more obvious the effect of the digital economy on narrowing the urban-rural income gap. The construction of “the Belt and Road” and the expansion of opening up also help to narrow the income gap between urban and rural areas. In this regard, the thesis countermeasure suggestions in order to give full play to the role of the development of the digital economy in narrowing the income gap between urban and rural areas in China.
