Digital Economy and Rural Industrial Revitalization:Internal Mechanism and Empirical Test
Industrial revitalization is the foundation of rural comprehensive revitalization.The deep integration of the digital economy and rural industry can inject new development momentum into the development of rural industry.Based on an in-depth analysis of the theoretical logic of the digital economy empowering rural industry revitalization,this paper calculates the digital economy development index and rural industry revitalization index based on the panel data of 31 provinces and cities in China from 2011 to 2020.It empiri-cally analyzes the total effect,intermediary effect,and threshold effect of the digital economy on rural industry revitalization.The re-sults show that the digital economy has a significant positive impact on the revitalization of rural industries.Heterogeneity analysis shows that the positive effect of the digital economy on the revitalization of rural industries in eastern China is more obvious.Mechanism analysis shows that rural entrepreneurial activity has a mediating effect in the process of the digital economy promoting the revitalization of rural industries.In addition,the digital economy has a single threshold effect on revitalizing rural industries based on labor mis-match.Before and after crossing the threshold,the impact of the digital economy on the revitalization of rural industries has changed from positive to negative.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen the construction of the digital infrastructure,pay attention to the difference in the digital economy empowerment effect,strengthen the radiation effect of the digital economy,and improve the digital lit-eracy of rural residents,to accelerate the effective connection between digital economy and rural industry revitalization.
