Can Digital Infrastructure Construction Make Urban Economies More Resilient:Evidence from Broadband China Pilot Policy
Taking the Broadband China pilot policy as a quasi-natural experiment in digital infrastructure construction,based on urban panel data from 2005 to 2020,this paper evaluates the policy effect of the Broadband China pilot policy on urban economic resilience using a multi-period difference in difference method.The results indicate that:(1)Digital in-frastructure construction represented by the Broadband China pilot policy can significantly promote urban economic resili-ence,and the policy effectiveness continues to enhance over time.(2)The construction of digital infrastructure represented by the Broadband China pilot policy can enhance urban economic resilience through industrial structure optimization,techno-logical innovation drive,and digital finance empowerment.(3)The promotion effect of digital infrastructure on urban econom-ic resilience is influenced by urban characteristics such as geographical location,population size,and resource endowment.The policy effects of eastern cities,large and above-sized cities,and non-resource-based cities are relatively strong.
