Based on the theoretical studies of the impact of digital inclusive finance on high-quality economic development,using panel data from 31 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020,this paper analyzed the relationship between them by fixed effects model.The results show that digital inclusive finance has a significant driving effect on high-quality economic development,but the impact is different in the eastern,central,and western regions.The depth of using digital inclusive finance has the most significant promoting effect in the eastern region,but the degree of digital support is not significant.The promotion effect of digital inclusive finance on high-quality economic development is most evident in the central region.The level of digital support services in the western region has the most significant boosting effect on high-quality economic development.At the spatial level,there is a positive spillover of high-quality economic development,which can promote high-quality economic development in surrounding areas;However,digital inclusive finance mainly affects the high-quality development of the local economy and does not significantly affect the development of neighboring areas.The analysis of the intermediary effect shows that digital inclusive finance has a negative regulatory effect on regulating the urban-rural income ratio,that is,the development of digital inclusive finance will reduce the urban-rural income ratio and affect the high-quality economic development of China through the transmission path of urban-rural income ratio.
