数字经济发展与农村区域多维相对贫困问题探究

Research on the Development of Digital Economy and Multidimensional Relative Poverty in Rural Areas

摘要: 伴随着信息技术蓬勃发展，数字生产力内涵不断拓展，数字生产关系不断革新，数字经济已经成为社会发展的重要引擎，成为新时代最重要的经济增长点之一。如何利用数字红利弥合数字鸿沟，缓解多维相对贫困问题，将成为中国后脱贫时代多维相对贫困治理的突破口。本文立足于数字经济、多维相对贫困相关理论基础，利用中国2014~2021年省级平衡面板数据进行实证研究。研究发现：数字经济发展与农村相对贫困之间存在“U”型关系，即数字经济发展初始阶段可以助力缓解农村多维相对贫困，而随着数字经济发展的深化，数字鸿沟的扩大会加剧农村多维相对贫困；中介效应检验表明，数字经济通过影响数据要素的投入和数据要素促进报酬合理分配来缓解农村多维相对贫困。这些发现对推动中国数字经济的包容性发展具有重要意义。

Abstract: With the vigorous development of information technology, the connotation of digital productiv-ity is constantly expanding, and the relationship between digital production is constantly innovating. Digital economy has become an important engine of social development and one of the most important economic growth points in the new era. How to use the digital dividend to bridge the digital divide and alleviate the multidimensional relative poverty problem will become the breakthrough of multidimensional relative poverty governance in the post-poverty era in China. Based on the theoretical basis of digital economy and multidimensional relative poverty, this paper makes an empirical study by using the provincial balanced panel data of China from 2014 to 2021. It is found that there is a U-shaped relationship between digital economy development and rural relative poverty, that is, the initial stage of digital economy development can help alleviate multidimensional relative poverty, and with the deepening of digital economy development, the expansion of digital divide will aggravate multidimensional relative poverty; The intermediary effect test shows that the digital economy can alleviate the multi-dimensional relative poverty in rural areas by affecting the input of data and promoting the rational distribu-tion of remuneration. These findings are of great significance to promoting the inclusive development of digital economy in China.
