Analysis on the Spatial Association Network of Digital Inclusive Finance in the Yangtze River Economic Zone
This paper adopts the improved gravity model and social network analysis to analyze the structural characteristics and evolutionary trends of the spatial linkage network of digital financial inclusion in cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2011 to 2021.The results are as follows.(1)The spatial correlation of digital inclusive finance in the Yangtze River Economic Belt is increasingly close,overall coordination improves,regional differences decrease,and the economic belt presents a non-equilibri-um network of gradually strengthening spatial correlation from top to bottom and from west to east.(2)The spatial correlation net-work is mainly promoted through core cities such as Suzhou,Shanghai,Wuxi,Nanjing,Hangzhou,Wuhan,Changzhou,and Ningbo.The control ability and spillover effects of core cities are limited,and the radiation process from east to west continues to weaken.(3)The spatial correlation network can be divided into four major sectors,with 13 downstream cities including Shanghai,Nanjing,and Wuxi acting as the"net beneficiaries";15 cities including Yangzhou,Nantong,and Zhenjiang playing the role of"two-way spillover";44 cities including Wenzhou,Bengbu,and Huaibei acting as"brokers";58 cities,including Xiangtan,Enshi,and Changde,located in the middle and upper reaches and off the main roads playing the role of"net spillover".
