Enhance the Quality of Urban-Rural Integrated Development with Digital Technology—An Empirical Study Based on Double Machine Learning Model
Improving the quality of urban and rural integrated development is the proposition of The Times for China's high-quality economic development.Digital technology,with its advantages of high innovation,strong penetration and wide coverage,has been integrated into every link of urban and rural development,and has become an important engine to promote the equal exchange of urban and rural elements and improve the quality of urban-rural integration and development.This paper uses the panel data of prefecture-level cities to measure the development level of urban-rural integration,and uses a Double Machine Learning model to explore the impact of digital technology on the quality of urban-rural integration and its internal mechanism from both theoretical and empirical aspects.Combining with the requirements of high-quality development,this paper holds that reasonable allocation of elements is the basic premise of urban-rural integrated development,innovation-driven development provides the core driving force for improving the quality of urban-rural integrated development,and urban-rural industrial integration is an important support for improving the quality of urban-rural integrated development.It is found that digital technology can significantly improve the quality of urban-rural integration development,and has passed the robustness test in many ways.The mechanism test shows that digital technology improves the quality of urban-rural integration by improving factor mismatch,improving innovation capacity,and promoting urban-rural industrial integration.In addition,the further study of urban agglomerations found that in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomerations,the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River urban agglomerations,digital technology has a stronger effect on improving the quality of urban-rural integration development.Finally,it puts forward countermeasures and suggestions from the aspects of overall planning of urban and rural digital layout,broadening the channels of integration of factors and eliminating the digital divide between urban and rural areas.This paper provides empirical evidence and decision-making reference for digital technology to improve the quality of urban and rural integrated development and establish and improve the system and mechanism of urban and rural integrated development.
