数字经济赋能共同富裕——科技创新与人力资本水平的调节效应

Prefecture-Level Digital Economy Empowering Common Prosperity:The Moderating Effects of Scientific and Technological Innovation and Human Capital

数字经济正在引领中国经济社会向高质量发展迈进,已然成为共同富裕目标实现的新机遇。基于2011-2021年中国286个城市的面板数据,构建双向固定效应模型来实证检验数字经济对共同富裕的赋能效应,并进一步探究科技创新与人力资本水平在其赋能过程中的调节作用机制。研究结果表明:数字经济发展能够显著促进共同富裕的实现;东部地区的数字经济赋能效应最强,中西部地区次之;“宽带中国”试点政策发布后,其赋能效应得到进一步加强;科技创新与人力资本在赋能过程中存在着显著的正向调节作用。

The digital economy is leading China’s economic and social development towards the pace of high-quality development,and has become a new opportunity for the realization of the goal of common wealth.Based on the panel data of 286 cities in China from 2011 to 2021,a two-way fixed-effects model is constructed to empirically test the empowering effect of the digital economy on common wealth,and further explore the moderating mechanism of scientific and technological innovation and the level of human capital in the process of empowerment.The results of the study show that the development of digital economy can significantly promote the realization of common wealth;the empowering effect of digital economy is strongest in the eastern region,followed by the central and western regions;the empowering effect has been further strengthened since the release of the“Broadband China”strategy;and there is a significant positive moderating effect of scientific and technological innovation and human capital in the empowering process.
