The study conducts empirical tests on the channels and mechanisms of this impact. The findings reveal that the development of digital inclusive finance significantly increases the consumption level of low-income households, a conclusion that remains robust after conducting robustness tests and addressing endogeneity issues. Furthermore, the three dimensions of the digital inclusive finance development indicator—coverage breadth, usage depth, and digitalization level—significantly enhance the consumption level of low-income households in descending order. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the promotional effect of digital inclusive finance on the consumption of low-income households varies by urban-rural and regional differences, with the impact on rural households being significantly higher than that on urban households. Although the level of financial inclusion development is higher in the eastern region compared to the central and western regions, the promotional effect on household consumption is the highest in the central region, followed by the western region. The mechanism of action suggests that the development of digital inclusive finance influences household consumption behavior by increasing the income level of low-income families.展开更多
