Does the Digital Government Construction Promote Provincial Common Prosperity?——A Study on the Threshold Effect Based on the Equalization of Basic Public Services in Urban and Rural Areas
Based on panel data from 27 provincial administrative regions in China from 2016 to 2021,the threshold effect and spatial spillover effect of digital government construction in promoting common prosperity were investigated by using quantitative analysis method,including fixed effects model,threshold regression,spatial lag model.The results showed that digital government construction can promote provincial common prosperity with regional heterogeneity;The equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas has a prominent nonlinear threshold relationship with the promotion of provincial common prosperity through digital government construction;When the level of equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas reaches the threshold,it has a positive impact on the positive impact of digital government construction on common prosperity.The impact of digital government construction on common prosperity has a significant spatial spillover effect,which can significantly enhance the common prosperity of neighboring provinces.The following suggestions are proposed:promoting common prosperity through the digital government construction can not only enhance overall prosperity through cultivating and strengthening the digital market,but also shape the development pattern of"co-construction,co-governance,and sharing"to enhance common prosperity;The equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas restricts the effectiveness of digital government construction in promoting common prosperity;We should be good at utilizing the spatial spillover effect of digital government construction to promote common prosperity,and work together with neighboring provinces to improve the level of regional digital government construction and jointly promote regional common prosperity.
