Abstract

Digital countryside is the strategic direction of rural revitalization, and it is also a new driving force to promote the resilience of county economy. Based on the panel data of counties from 2013 to 2022, this paper constructs an index of regional economic resilience by using entropy weight method, and establishes an econometric model. From the perspective of financial development, this paper discusses the impact of digital rural construction on regional economic resilience, and further analyzes the regional heterogeneity of the effect. The conclusions are as follows: (1) The construction of digital countryside can significantly improve the resilience of county economy, and the impact is still stable after a series of tests; (2) Digital village construction can improve the resilience of county economy by promoting the level of regional financial development; (3) The impact of the construction of digital countryside on the resilience of county economy is characterized by regional heterogeneity, and has different impacts on the eastern, central and western regions and regions with different administrative levels. Based on this, the paper puts forward policy suggestions in three aspects: strengthening the construction of rural digital infrastructure, deepening the structural reform of the financial supply side, and implementing differentiated policy promotion mechanisms, providing policy inspiration for promoting the resilience of regional economy.

数字农村建设、金融发展与区域经济弹性：机制分析与实证检验

数字农村是乡村振兴的战略方向，也是提升县域经济韧性的新动力。基于2013 - 2022年县域面板数据，运用熵权法构建区域经济弹性指数，并建立计量模型。本文从金融发展的角度探讨了数字农村建设对区域经济弹性的影响，并进一步分析了其影响的区域异质性。研究结果表明：(1)数字农村建设能够显著提高县域经济弹性，且经过一系列检验，影响仍然稳定；(2)数字村建设通过提升区域金融发展水平，提高县域经济韧性；(3)数字农村建设对县域经济弹性的影响具有区域异质性，在东、中、西部地区和不同行政级别地区的影响不同。在此基础上，本文从加强农村数字基础设施建设、深化金融供给侧结构性改革、实施差别化政策促进机制三个方面提出政策建议，为提升区域经济韧性提供政策启示。
