Research on Big Data Construction Empowering Development of Digital Inclusive Finance:Based on the Quasi-natural Experiment of"National Big Data Comprehensive Pilot Zone"
Under the background of big data,how to broaden the development path of digital inclusive finance and further strengthen its role value has become an important and far-reaching research topic.Therefore,Based on the panel data of 286 cities at or above the prefecture level in China from 2011 to 2020,this paper constructs a difference-difference model based on the quasi natural experiment of"National Big Data Comprehensive Pilot Area"for empirical testing.It is found that the construction of big data has a significant promoting effect on the development of digital inclusive finance,and the conclusion is still reliable after a series of robustness tests such as counterfactual test,placebo test and randomness test.Heterogeneity analysis shows that in prefecture-level cities,cities with better location advantages and higher financial structure index,big data construction has a more obvious promoting effect on the development of digital inclusive finance.The mechanism analysis shows that the construction of big data promotes the inclusive development of digital finance through the effect of financial technology progress and the effect of trust strengthening.This paper reveals the internal logic of the construction of big data to enable the development of digital inclusive finance,which can provide experience reference for relevant departments to formulate scientific and effective digital inclusive finance development programs.
