乡村数字经济缓解多维相对贫困的理论分析与机制检验

Theoretical Analysis and Mechanism Test on Rural Digital Economy Alleviating Multidimensional Relative Poverty

文章选取2013—2020年我国30个省份的面板数据,分别构建多维相对贫困和乡村数字经济评价指标体系,分析乡村数字经济对多维相对贫困的直接和间接影响以及作用机制。研究发现:乡村数字经济的直接减贫作用显著,且乡村数字经济能够通过提升公平性、振兴乡村产业和优化资源配置三条路径发挥减贫作用,具有明显的间接效应。区域异质性检验结果显示,中西部地区乡村数字经济对多维相对贫困的直接减缓程度明显大于东部地区;资源配置在东部地区起到了完全中介效应,公平性和乡村产业振兴分别只在西部和中部地区发挥了部分中介效应。

This paper selects panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2013 to 2020 to construct multidimensional relative poverty and rural digital economy evaluation index system respectively,and analyzes the direct and indirect effects of rural digital economy on multidimensional relative poverty and its mechanism.The research findings go as below:The direct effect of rural digital economy on poverty reduction is significant,and the rural digital economy can exert the effect of poverty reduction through three functional paths of improving equity,rural industry revitalization and optimizing resource allocation structure,and has obvious indirect effect.In the test of regional heterogeneity,the digital economy directly alleviates multidimensional relative poverty in rural areas in central and western China.The optimization of resource allocation plays a complete mediating effect in the eastern region,while the promotion of equity and the revitalization of rural industries only play a partial mediating effect in the western and central regions,respectively.
