Impact and Enlightenment of Digital Economy on Indi-vidual Relative Poverty
Solving the problem of relative poverty is an essential part of achieving common prosperity in China in the post-poverty eradication era.Based on some theoretical views of Marx and the research of many schol-ars,using the CFPS data from 2012 to 2020,this paper constructs a binary choice model and a multiple media-tion model to explore the impact and mechanism of the digital economy development level measured by entro-py method on the relative poverty of individual micro-enterprises.The empirical results show that the develop-ment of the digital economy can effectively alleviate the problem of individual relative poverty,and the poverty reduction effect still holds after considering endogenous issues and conducting multiple robustness tests.At the macro level,compared with the developed eastern region,the digital economy in the central and western regions has a better effect on alleviating individual poverty.At the micro level,it has a significant effect on alle-viating the relative poverty problem of people with low educational background.The mechanism analysis shows that education,medical care,and increasing employment are important channels for the digital economy to solve the problem of individual relative poverty.Combining with the above heterogeneity analysis and mecha-nism analysis,we can draw inspiration from the aspects of infrastructure construction and layout of digital econ-omy,standardizing relevant systems of digital economy,and empowering public services with digital economy.
