Abstract

Effective development of digital finance is vital to closing the regional economic disparities. This study aims at investigating the efficiency of digital finance development in China and its implications for closing regional economic disparities. Using the stochastic frontier model, we estimate the development efficiency of digital finance in 31 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020, and reveal their characteristics of temporal evolution and spatial distribution. The results show that the efficiency of digital finance development in each province shows a tendency to increase quickly first and then slowly decline. The provinces with a higher level of digital finance development always have higher development efficiency at the beginning of the sample period, which then declines rapidly after reaching the maximum, and even less than the national average value at the end of the period, with significant regional disparities observed. The provinces with a higher level of digital finance development always have higher development efficiency at the beginning of the sample period, which then declines rapidly after reaching the maximum, and even less than the national average value at the end of the period. The imbalance of development efficiency among different provinces is increasing, and the potential for development efficiency in the central and western regions is relatively greater. These findings have important implications for promoting high-quality economic development and common prosperity in China. In the future, we should continually prevent the development efficiency of digital finance to decline rapidly in all provinces (especially in the eastern region), and strive constantly to bridge the gap of development efficiency among different province, so as to provide a better surrounding for promoting high-quality economic development and common prosperity.
基于随机前沿模型的省级数字金融发展效率测度
数字金融的有效发展对缩小区域经济差距至关重要。本研究旨在探讨中国数字金融发展的效率及其对缩小区域经济差距的影响。利用随机前沿模型,对2011 - 2020年中国31个省份的数字金融发展效率进行了估算,揭示了其时间演化特征和空间分布特征。结果表明,各省数字金融发展效率呈现先快速上升后缓慢下降的趋势。数字金融发展水平较高的省份在样本期初的发展效率始终较高,在达到最大值后迅速下降,在样本期终时甚至低于全国平均值,区域差异显著。数字金融发展水平较高的省份在样本期初的发展效率始终较高,在达到最大值后迅速下降,在样本期终时甚至低于全国平均值。各省间发展效率的不平衡在加剧,中西部地区发展效率的潜力相对较大。这对促进中国经济高质量发展和共同繁荣具有重要意义。未来,我们要不断防止各省(特别是东部地区)数字金融发展效率快速下降,不断努力缩小各省之间发展效率的差距,为促进经济高质量发展、共同繁荣提供更好的环境。
