Digital Economy,Population Structure and High-quality Economic Development of Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle
The article is based on panel data from 16 cities within the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle,span-ning from 2011 to 2020.It employs an improved entropy method to assess the levels of digital economy and economic de-velopment quality within the circle.The study utilizes a composite ecosystem model to analyze the coupling coordination index of the digital economy,population structure,and economic development quality.It also empirically examines the promotional effect of the digital economy on the high-quality development of the economic circle,the mediating role of population structure transformation,and the regulatory impact of local financial supervision and fiscal technology ex-penditure,using ordinary panel regression models,mediation effect models,and panel threshold models.The findings re-veal that:(1)the level of the digital economy in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle is continuously improving,al-though significant disparities exist between cities,with core cities performing notably better than non-core ones;(2)the coupling coordination among the digital economy,population structure,and economic development quality is progress-ively improving,yet remains primarily in the initial and intermediate stages of coordination;(3)the digital economy signi-ficantly fosters the high-quality development of the economic circle,with the transformation and upgrading of the popula-tion structure playing a crucial mediating role,and financial supervision along with fiscal technology expenditure exerting a strong regulatory influence.To further promote the high-quality development of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle,it is recommended to intensively develop the digital economy,create a hub for digital economic growth,capitalize on digital economy opportunities,focus on population strategies,and continue to harness the demographic dividend.Addi-tionally,implementing scientifically sound and cautious market supervision of the digital economy,coupled with increas-ing financial support for technology,is advised.
