The impact of digital rural construction on rural residents'income—An empirical analysis based on spatial Durbin model
Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China(excluding Hong Kong,Macao,Taiwan and Xizang)from 2015 to 2021,this paper constructs an evaluation index system and uses the entropy method to measure the level of digital rural construction.In addition,this paper also uses the spatial Durbin model to empirically analyze the impact of digital rural construction on rural residents'income and spatial spillover effects.The research found that digital rural construction has a significant positive impact on rural residents'income,and the impact of digital rural construction on rural residents'income has a significant positive spatial spillover effect.There is a significant spatial autocorrelation between digital rural construction and rural residents'income.Digital rural construction has a significant positive impact on the income of rural residents in both the local and neighboring areas,and the positive impact on the local areas is smaller than that on neighboring areas.There are significant regional differences in the impact of digital rural construction on rural residents'income.Among them,digital rural construction has a significant positive impact on the income of rural residents in the eastern,central,and western regions,while the impact on the northeast region is not significant.The direct effect of digital rural construction on rural residents'income shows a decreasing trend of"northeast-central-west-east",while the indirect and total effects show a decreasing trend of"northeast-west-central-east".Based on the results,it is proposed to increase support for digital rural construction,improve the benefit sharing mechanism of digital rural construction,and promote regional balanced development of digital rural construction,so as to promote the increase of rural residents'income.
