How does the growth target constraint affect the construction of digital infrastructure?
Based on the analysis of the relationship between growth target constraint and digital infra-structure construction,the panel data of 282 cities above prefecture level from 2006 to 2020 are used to em-pirically examine how growth target constraint affects the construction of digital infrastructure.The empirical results show that:(1)Growth target constraint will promote digital infrastructure through government atten-tion effect and financial support effect.Soft constraint can significantly promote digital infrastructure,but hard constraint cannot;(2)The influence of growth target constraint on digital infrastructure is influenced by marketization and human capital.The lower the level of marketization(the higher the level of human capital),the stronger the role of growth target constraint in promoting digital infrastructure;(3)Heteroge-neity analysis shows that compared with the eastern region,the growth target constraint has a stronger pro-motion effect on the digital infrastructure in the central and western regions.At the same time,the promo-tion effect of growth target constraint on digital infrastructure construction is only existed after 2012,and the negative social performance gap is more important than the positive feedback.The above-mentioned con-clusions are helpful to understand the role of the government in digital infrastructure and provide policy en-lightenment for better promotion of the high-quality development of digital infrastructure.
