Does Digital Inclusive Finance Promote Innovation? Evidence from China
The deep integration of inclusive finance with digital technologies emerges as a crucial force for bridging service gaps, expanding financial access to underserved populations, and fostering sustainable economic growth. This paper utilizes the data from 270 cities in China spanning 2011 to 2022 to investigate the impacts of digital inclusive financial development on technological innovation. The results show that digital inclusive finance significantly promotes technological innovation, mainly driven by enhancing credit availability, improving resource allocation efficiency, and optimizing the consumption structure. The heterogeneity results reveal that this effect is pronounced in cities characterized by advanced marketization, high internet penetration, high human capital, and strong intellectual property protection. This paper contributes to facilitating coordinated urban development and provides practical significance for accelerating the digital convergence of metropolitan production networks.
期刊介绍:
Economic Modelling fills a major gap in the economics literature, providing a single source of both theoretical and applied papers on economic modelling. The journal prime objective is to provide an international review of the state-of-the-art in economic modelling. Economic Modelling publishes the complete versions of many large-scale models of industrially advanced economies which have been developed for policy analysis. Examples are the Bank of England Model and the US Federal Reserve Board Model which had hitherto been unpublished. As individual models are revised and updated, the journal publishes subsequent papers dealing with these revisions, so keeping its readers as up to date as possible.
