产业融合视角下数字经济对银发经济效率提升的影响研究

The Impact of Digital Economy on the Efficiency of Silver Economy from the Perspective of Industrial Integration

摘要: 随着我国人口老龄化不断加深、数字经济逐年蓬勃发展，银发经济成为现下经济增长的重要途径。本文以2014~2023年省级面板数据为样本，通过柯布–道格拉斯生产函数与简化参数法测度银发经济效率，通过中介效应模型实证检验数字经济、产业融合与银发经济效率的关系，根据地区差异以及老龄化程度进行差异性检验。实证结果表明：数字经济发展水平对银发经济效率具有显著正向促进作用；产业融合在两者中发挥关键中介作用；地区差异与老龄化程度差异会影响数字经济对银发经济效率的赋能效应。实证结果所揭示理论为破解养老服务供需失衡、弥合差距、推动银发经济提质增效提供理论参考与实践路径。

Abstract: As China’s population ages and its digital economy grows year by year, the silver economy has become an important driver of current economic growth. This paper takes the provincial panel data from 2014 to 2023 as a sample, measures the efficiency of the silver economy through the Cobb-Douglas production function and the simplified parameter method, empirically tests the relationship among the digital economy, industrial integration, and the efficiency of the silver economy by using the mediating effect model, and conducts a difference test based on regional differences and the degree of aging. The empirical results show that: the development level of the digital economy has a significant positive promoting effect on the efficiency of the silver economy; industrial integration plays a key mediating role between the two; regional differences and differences in the degree of aging will affect the enabling effect of the digital economy on the efficiency of the silver economy. The theory revealed by the empirical results provides theoretical references and practical paths for solving the imbalance between the supply and demand of elderly care services, bridging the digital divide, and promoting the quality improvement and efficiency enhancement of the silver economy.
