数字经济对城乡融合发展的赋能效应与机制研究

Research on the enabling effect and mechanism of digital economy on urban-rural integrateddevelopment

数据要素和数字技术的创新发展,为驱动城乡融合发展提供了新思路,也为解决“三农”问题、实现乡村振兴提供了新动能。本文基于2013—2021年全国31个省份(除港澳台外)省级面板数据,运用双固定效应模型和空间杜宾模型,实证检验了数字经济对城乡融合发展的影响效果、作用机制以及空间效应。结果表明:1)数字经济的发展能够显著提高城乡融合发展水平;2)数字经济能够通过改善政府行为、促进科技创新来驱动城乡融合发展;3)数字经济对城乡融合发展的促进作用具有明显的地区异质性,中西部地区优于东部地区,空间面板回归显示,数字经济对城乡融合存在空间溢出效应。据此提出以下政策建议:不同地区应当根据自身经济、文化等地缘或环境优势,加快建设创新驱动、政府引导的现代化农业发展新格局,破除城乡二元结构,推动城乡差异化融合发展等。

Innovative developments in data information and digital technology provide new ideas for driving the integrated development of urban and rural areas,and also provide new momentum for solving issues of agriculture,farmer and rural area,and realizing rural revitalization.Based on a provincial panel data in China from 2013 to 2021,this paper empirically tests the impacts,mechanism and spatial effects of the digital economy on urban-rural integrated development by the Two-way Fixed Effects Model and the Spatial Durbin Model.Results show that:1)the development of the digital economy can significantly improve the level of urban-rural integrated development;2)the digital economy can drive urban-rural integrated development by improving government behaviors and promoting scientific and technological innovation;3)the promotion effect of digital economy on urban-rural integration has obvious regional heterogeneity,and the central and western regions are better than those in the eastern region,and the spatial panel regression shows that the digital economy has a spatial spillover effect on urban-rural integration.Accordingly,it is proposed that different regions should accelerate the construction of a new pattern of innovation-driven and government-guided modern agricultural development according to their own economic,cultural and other geographical or environmental advantages,break the dual structure of urban and rural areas,and promote the differentiated and integrated development of urban and rural areas.
