数字乡村建设是否能够推动革命老区共同富裕

Does the Construction of Digital Villages Promote Common Prosperity in Old Revolutionary Base Areas?

本文通过网络爬虫技术收集了2012-2021年全国2997个县级行政区的数字乡村建设信息,分析数字乡村建设对革命老区共同富裕的影响。具体来说,本文考察了数字基础条件和数字乡村治理两个维度,使用实证分析方法,探索数字乡村建设对革命老区农村居民相对收入和城乡收入差距的影响。研究发现:作为数字乡村建设硬环境维度的数字基础条件推动了革命老区农村地区的收入增长,也拉大了革命老区城乡间的收入差距,造成数字鸿沟;作为数字乡村建设软环境维度的数字乡村治理在消除数字鸿沟和实现共同富裕方面具有显著的正向作用。由此,本文认为,在大力建设革命老区数字基础设施的同时,需优化数字乡村治理措施,加强数字赋能,革命老区才有可能从数字乡村建设中获取更大收益,从而实现跨越式增长和共同富裕。

Based on the data of digital villages in China's 2997 counties from 2012 to 2021 collected by the web crawler technique,this study explores the impact of digital village construction on the common prosperity in old revolutionary base areas.From two dimensions of digital infrastructure and digital govermance in rural areas,the study empirically analyzes the impact of digital village construction policies on farmers'relative income and urban-rural income gap in the old revolutionary base areas.We find that digital infrastructure,which is the hardware environment dimension of digital village construction,promotes income growth in rural areas but widens the urban-rural income gap in the old revolutionary base areas,forming a digital divide.However,digital governance,the software environment dimension of digital village construction,has a significant and positive effect in bridging the digital divide and accelerating common prosperity.Thus,the study suggests that while vigorously building digital infrastructure,the old revolutionary base areas should pay more attention to digital governance and strengthen digital empowerment,which can help benefit more from digital village construction to achieve leapfrog growth and common prosperity.
