Research on the Relationship Between Digital Inclusive Finance and Integrated Urban-Rural Development
Based on the panel data of 30 provincial-level administrative regions in China from 2011 to 2020,this pa-per constructs a comprehensive indicator system for urban-rural integration,and uses fixed effect model and interme-diary effect model to deeply analyze the impact of digital inclusive finance on the development level of urban-rural in-tegration and the approaches by which the impact works.The research shows that digital inclusive finance can effec-tively promote urban-rural integration.In terms of mechanism,entrepreneurship is an effective way to promote ur-ban-rural integration,especially the entrepreneurship in agriculture.In terms of heterogeneity,digital financial in-clusion has significant regional characteristics in promoting urban-rural integration,and is positively correlated with Internet coverage and marketization degree.
