Digital Economy Promotes High-quality Development of Higher Education:Theoretical Mechanisms and Empirical Tests
Based on the panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2011 to 2021,the study uses two-way fixed effects model,pan-el threshold model and spatial Durbin model to test the impact of digital economy on the high-quality development of higher education.The study finds that:the digital economy has a positive promotion effect on the high-quality development of higher education,specif-ically on the dimensions of higher education factors,capabilities and functions in order of decreasing;the digital economy has a positive effect on the high-quality development of higher education in the eastern region,and has no significant effect on the central and west-ern regions;the level of development of the digital economy has a non-linear effect on the high-quality development of higher educa-tion with increasing marginal effects;the digital economy has a positive effect on the high-quality development of local higher educa-tion high-quality development has a positive impact,but there is a negative spatial spillover effect on neighboring regions.In this re-gard,the strategic layout of digital economy should be strengthened to promote in-depth cooperation between higher education and the digital economy industry;the advantages of the eastern region should be brought into play through the creation of cooperation demon-stration zones,the formulation of regional development plans,the increase of investment in digital infrastructure,and the construction of digital education resource sharing platforms,so as to enhance the radiation-driven role of the developed regions of the digital econo-my.
