数字经济发展提升服务业效率研究

Research on Improving the Efficiency of the Service Industry with the Development of the Digital Economy

推进中国式现代化的重点任务之一是提升服务业的效率,但是提升服务业效率并非易事。当前,我国服务业发展还面临人口老龄化引起的劳动力供给不足的压力。因此,基于中国省级面板数据构建固定效应模型,研究数字经济发展如何提升服务业效率。研究结果表明:(1)数字技术的应用可以提高服务业生产效率并进而缓解劳动力供给不足带来的冲击,而产业结构的优化与老龄化程度的加深会强化这一作用;(2)随着老龄化程度逐渐加深,劳动力供给不足会“倒逼”数字技术的应用,促进数字经济发展;(3)东部地区互联网普及率高、人均受教育时间长、传统基础设施建设水平高,数字经济对服务业效率的提升作用更加明显。因此,需要加快数字经济发展与普及,并根据地区差异与行业差异有针对性地加快服务业的数字化转型。

An important aspect of China s path to modernization is the improvement of the efficiency of the service industry,which is not an easy task.At present,the development of China s service industry is threatened by an insufficient labor supply as a result of the aging population.This paper builds a fixed effect model based on provincial panel data to study how the development of the digital economy can improve the efficiency of the service industry in China.The results show:(1)the application of digital technology can improve the productivity of the service industry and alleviate the impact of an insufficient labor supply,while the optimization of industrial structure and deepening of aging will strengthen this role;(2)with increased aging of the population,the labor shortage will“force”the application of digital technology,promoting the development of the digital economy;(3)the eastern region has a high Internet penetration rate,higher levels of education per capita,and a high level of traditional infrastructure construction.The digital economy s role in improving the efficiency of the service industry is very evident.Therefore,it is necessary to accelerate its development and popularization to hasten the digital transformation of the service industry in accordance with regional and industry differences.
