Based on the panel data of 279 cities in Chi-na from 2011-2021,this paper empirically examines the im-pact of data elements on regional coordinated development,and discusses the transmission mechanism of data elements on re-gional coordinated development from two aspects:bridging the resource gap between cities and improving the level of digital in-clusive finance.The research results indicate that data elements can significantly reduce regional economic development dispari-ties and promote coordinated economic development.As far as the impact mechanism is concerned,data elements cannot pro-mote coordinated development by reducing the gap in urban land resource endowment.However,they can reduce the regional e-conomic development gap by reducing the gap in real estate prices,population resource endowment,financial resource en-dowment,and improving the level of digital inclusive finance in cities,thus achieving regional coordinated development.In ad-dition,the results of heterogeneity analysis indicate that data el-ements have the most significant promoting effect on the coordi-nated economic development of the central and more developed regions.The research results can provide policy inspiration for further improving the mechanism of data elements,cultivating new drivers of economic development,and accelerating the reali-zation of common prosperity.
