Digital Economy Development to Boost Rural Residents'Income Increase:Mechanism and Empirical Test
This paper takes rural residents as the research object,uses the China Family Panel studies(CFPS)and the digital economy development index to explore the income increase effect of the digital economy on rural residents and its mechanism by constructing a two-way fixed effect model.The results show that the digital economy has a significant income-increasing effect on rural residents,and this conclusion is still valid after the robustness test of replacing the core explanatory variables,replacing the estimation method and deleting samples with low reliability.The mechanism analysis shows that the digital economy promotes the income growth of rural residents through four pathways:improving labor productivity,increasing non-farm employment,promoting farmers'entrepreneurship and improving social integration.Heterogeneity analysis shows that the digital economy has a more significant effect on the income increase of rural residents,rural low-income groups and rural residents in northeast China who are highly dependent on the internet.Accordingly,some suggestions are put forward to strengthen infrastructure construction in rural areas,strengthen digital training and education,improve policies related to the development of the digital economy,and give full play to the advantages of local characteristics.
