电子商务对城乡居民消费差距的影响研究——基于地理区域视角的实证测度

Research on the Impact of E-commerce on the Consumption Gap Between Urban and Rural Residents-Empirical Measurement Based on the Perspective of Geographical Region

运用计量模型,选取了2012-2021年的面板数据,探讨电子商务在不同自然地理区域对城乡消费差距的作用。结果显示:2012-2021年我国电子商务的发展扩大了城乡居民消费差距,但是长期看来,比如东北、华东和华中地区,电子商务阻碍了城乡消费差距的扩大。因此,政府要坚持发展电子商务,且要因地制宜的发展特色电商,从而发挥好电子商务在城乡居民消费差距的积极作用。

This paper constructs an econometric model by extracting panel data from 2012 to 2021 to study how e-commerce impacts the consumption disparity of rural-urban divide respectively in different natural geographical regions.The results show that the development of e-commerce in China from 2012 to 2021 has widened the consumption gap between urban and rural residents.However,in the long run,in Northeast China,East China and Central China,e-commerce has hindered the widening of the gap between urban and rural consumption.Therefore,the government should insist on the development of e-commerce,and develop characteristic e-commerce according to local conditions,so as to bring positive role of e-commerce into good play in the consumption gap between urban and rural residents.
