Research on the impact and mechanism of digital economy on rural revitalization development
In recent years,the digital economy has been booming and rural revitalization has been positively impacted by it.By selecting the panel data of 30 Chinese provinces from 2011 to 2022,the entropy weighting method and fixed-effects model were used to explore the mechanism and degree of the impact of digital economy on the development of rural revitalization,and the random forest model was innovatively used to examine in depth the importance of the various indicators of digital economy affecting the development of rural revitalization.The study found that:(1)The development of digital economy had a significant role in promoting rural revitalization,with an impact effect of 0.4100.(2)The promotion of digital economy on rural revitalization in forestry provinces was more significant than other regions,with an impact coefficient of 0.5700,indicating that the application of digital economy in the forest economy had achieved significant results.(3)The most important factors of digital economy affecting rural revitalization were the number of websites owned by enterprises and the number of information practitioners,with the importance of 13.62 and 11.61,respectively.Rural e-commerce was expected to become a new growth pole for rural revitalization.(4)There was obvious regional heterogeneity in the promotion of digital economy on rural revitalization,with impact coefficients of 0.6450 in the eastern region,0.2560 in the western region,0.2350 in the northeastern region,and 0.1970 in the central region,respectively.The article focused on the importance comparison of the indicators of digital economy in various dimensions as well as the heterogeneity analysis between large forestry provinces and other provinces,which deepened the relevant research content and made up for the lack of existing literature on digital economy research in large forestry economy provinces.Based on this,the article proposed some policy recommendations:Rural revitalization work should make good use of the digital economy as a driving force,focusing on the promotion of rural electronic information manufacturing and rural e-commerce,and promoting the low-cost and high-quality development of rural revitalization work in large forestry provinces and other regions.
