摘要
加强数字政府建设、转变政府职能进而提升政府治理能力,已经成为世界主要国家的发展战略.本文关注数字政府能否成为提高社会公平和缩小收入差距的有力工具,基于《联合国电子政务调查报告》的9年抽样时间共计955个跨国样本数据,实证分析了数字政府与收入差距之间的关系.研究结果表明:加强数字政府建设能够显著缩小跨国收入差距,这一结果在更换变量度量方式和计量模型下均十分稳健.政府通过数字化治理缩短制度距离进而缩小收入差距.进一步研究发现,数字政府将驱动经济增长与收入不平等的关系从倒U型的库兹涅茨曲线转向负相关,意味着数字政府将加速库兹涅茨曲线拐点的到来,其不仅能够缩小跨国收入差距,且对国家内部的收入不平等同样具有缓解作用.
Abstract
Strengthening the construction of digital government,transforming government func-tions and enhancing government governance capacity have become the development strategies of major countries around the world.This article focuses on whether digital government can be a powerful tool for improving social equity and reducing income disparity,and empirically analyzes the relationship between digital government and income disparity based on the data of 955 cross-country samples over a nine-year sample period from the United Nations E-Government Survey.The findings show that strengthening digital government can signifi-cantly reduce cross-country income disparities,a result that is robust to both the replacement variable measure and the econometric model.The government reduces institutional distance and thus income dis-parity through digital governance.Further research finds that digital government will drive the relation-ship between economic growth and income inequality from an inverted U-shaped Kuznets curve to a nega-tive correlation,implying that digital government will accelerate the inflection point of the Kuznets curve,which not only reduces cross-country income disparities,but also mitigates income inequality within countries.
