Can Digital Inclusive Finance Narrow the Gap of Regional Inclusive Green Growth
This article investigates the intrinsic mechanism of the impact of digital inclusive finance development on re-gional inclusive green growth gap,and uses panel data from 277 prefecture level cities in China from 2012 to 2022 to construct a spatial convergence model to empirically test the changing characteristics of regional inclusive green growth gap and the impact of digital inclusive finance.This study found that under the consideration of spatial effects,China ex-hibits the condition of β convergence in inclusive green growth,meaning that the gap in inclusive green growth among re-gions is gradually narrowing;Digital inclusive finance and its spatial spillover effects have accelerated the speed of inclu-sive green growth,which is conducive to narrowing the regional gap in inclusive green growth;Capital element flow is an intrinsic mechanism for digital inclusive finance to narrow the gap in regional inclusive green growth.Further heterogenei-ty analysis shows that among the three dimensions of digital inclusive finance,coverage breadth has a stronger effect on narrowing the gap in regional inclusive green growth,while the effect of digital inclusive finance on narrowing the gap in regional inclusive green growth is more significant in the central and western regions.
