The Impact of Digital Financial Inclusion on Rural Revitalization——A Case Study of Counties and County-level Cities in Jiangsu Province
Digital financial inclusion allows more groups to enjoy high-quality financial services in a low-cost and convenient way,and has played a positive role in promoting the revitalization of rural areas in counties.Tak-ing counties and county-level cities in Jiangsu Province as an example,the evaluation index system of rural revi-talization development level was constructed,and the 2014-2020 rural revitalization index of 40 counties and county-level cities was measured by entropy method,and verified by OLS model and threshold effect model.The results show that:(1)there is a significant positive correlation between the development level of digital financial inclusion in counties and county-level cities in Jiangsu Province and rural revitalization and its five dimensions;(2)there is a single threshold feature between them.Therefore,all regions can develop digital financial inclusion by strengthening digital infrastructure,improving financial credit system,and improving the penetration rate of fi-nancial knowledge so as to promote the realization of rural revitalization.
