Household Income Effects of Digital Infrastructure——An empirical research based on China Household Finance Survey
Digital infrastructure construction implements and demonstrates the essential requirements of common prosperity.Based on China Household Financial Survey(CHFS)from 2011 to 2019,and with a quasi-natural experiment of the"Broadband China"strat-egy,we investigate the relationship between digital infrastructure construction and household income.This study has found that digital infrastructure construction significantly increases household income and effectively suppresses income gaps.From a functional mecha-nism perspective,the construction of digital infrastructure generates significant"entrepreneurial effects"and"employment effects"by increasing opportunities for entrepreneurship and job creation,thereby boosting household incomes.The household income effect of dig-ital infrastructure construction is more significant in cities,areas with a high urbanization rate,and among middle-aged and higher-educated groups,showing noticeable regional differences and human capital differences.
