摘要
围绕数字经济(DE)发展对经济增长的影响,学术界已经进行了广泛的讨论,但只有少数研究从公平的角度对其进行了研究。本研究基于 2011-2020 年中国各省面板数据,构建关系数据分析范式,分析数字经济空间失衡对区域经济差距(REG)的影响。结果表明,地区间的发展空间和经济发展均存在显著差异。此外,均衡的 DE 改善可以减少 REG,尽管在东部地区这种影响的幅度呈负增长。此外,研究还表明,资本积累和产业结构的均衡发展也有助于降低 REG。这些研究结果表明,促进 DE 均衡发展可以成为缩小 REG 的有效战略。
Can digital economy narrow the regional economic gap? Evidence from China
The scholarly discourse surrounding the influence of digital economy (DE) advancement on economic growth has been extensive, but only a few studies have examined it from an equity perspective. Based on the panel data of Chinese provinces between 2011 and 2020, this study constructs the relational data analytical paradigm to analyze the impact of DE spatial disequilibrium on regional economic gap (REG). The results show that there are notable regional disparities in both DE and economic development. Furthermore, the equilibrium improvement of DE can reduce REG, with the magnitude of this effect increasing, albeit negatively in the eastern region. Additionally, the study suggests that the equilibrium development of capital accumulation and industrial structure can also contribute to the reduction of REG. These findings suggest that promoting DE equilibrium development can be an effective strategy for narrowing REG.

The Journal of Asian Economics provides a forum for publication of increasingly growing research in Asian economic studies and a unique forum for continental Asian economic studies with focus on (i) special studies in adaptive innovation paradigms in Asian economic regimes, (ii) studies relative to unique dimensions of Asian economic development paradigm, as they are investigated by researchers, (iii) comparative studies of development paradigms in other developing continents, Latin America and Africa, (iv) the emerging new pattern of comparative advantages between Asian countries and the United States and North America.
