Research on Spatial Spillover Effect of Digital Economy on Urban-rural Integration——A Case Study of Anhui Province
As a new economic form,digital economy plays an important role in promoting urban and rural integration.Using the municipal panel data of Anhui province,this paper empirically tested and analyzed the spatial spillover effect of Anhui's digital economy development on urban-rural integration by using the spatial Durbin model and threshold model.The results show that the level of urban and rural integration in Anhui province has been improved,but the regional imbalance is obvious;the development of digital economy not only promotes the level of local urban-rural integration,but also has a positive spatial spillover effect on the level of urban-rural integration in surrounding areas.The impact of digital economy development on urban-rural integration is restricted by different regional economic development levels.Therefore,it is necessary to formulate differentiated driving strategies for the development of digital economy,improve transportation infrastructure construction,and cultivate new drivers for economic development.
