The Role of Digital Economy in Regional Coordinated Development
As an important goal of building a new development pattern,regional coordinated development will be affected by the development level of digital economy.Based on the data of 26 provinces in China from 2013 to 2021,the two-way fixed effect model is used to analyze the influence direction and degree of digital economy on regional coordinated development.It is found that the digital economy has a promoting effect on regional coordinated development,which is still valid under the robustness test of the replacement of explanatory variables and instrumental variables.From the sub-regional perspective,the digital economy in the eastern region has a positive but not significant impact on the level of regional coordinated development,and the development of digital economy in the western region has significantly promoted the level of regional coordinated development;in terms of industries,the promotion effect of digital economy on the coordinated development level of the tertiary industry is higher than that of the primary and secondary industries;in terms of periods,the role of digital economy in promoting regional coordinated development is more obvious from 2017 to 2021.We can further reduce the level of regional development and promote coordinated development among regions by expanding investment in digital infrastructure and strengthening support for the development of digital economy in the central and western regions.
