Research on the Impact of Digital Economy on Inclusive Green Growth Gap:Based on the Relational Data Analysis Paradigm
Inclusive green growth is an important means to promote common prosperity.This paper incorporates the urban-rural income gap and environmental pollution into the measure of inclusive green to-tal factor productivity(TFP)under the data envelopment analysis framework,and utilizes the QAP meth-od to examine the impact of the digital economy on the regional disparity of inclusive green growth.The study finds that the balanced development of the digital economy significantly reduces the regional disparity of inclusive green growth in the sample period.Among them,digital industry development and digital technology innovation have a significant positive impact on the regional disparity of inclusive green growth,while digital infrastructure construction has a significant negative effect on that.Heterogeneity analysis finds that the balanced development of the digital economy in the eastern region and the southern region sig-nificantly reduces the regional disparity of inclusive green growth.Under the division of city clusters,the balanced development of the digital economy in the optimization and enhancement category and the develop-ment and expansion category of city clusters significantly contribute to the reduction of the regional disparity of inclusive green growth.Under the division of the city's economic level,the balanced development of the digital economy in the fourth-tier cities significantly reduces the regional disparity of inclusive green growth.The above research conclusions have important implications for the promotion of regional coordina-tion of the digital economy,the narrowing of regional disparity in inclusive green growth,and the realiza-tion of common prosperity during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
