乡村数字基建、劳动力乡城流动和城乡收入差距
Rural Digital Infrastructure,Rural-Urban Labor Mobility,and Urban-Rural Income Gap
摘要
Abstract
Using panel data from Chinese prefecture-level cities from 2005 to 2020,this study em-ploys the pilot policy of universal telecommunications service as a proxy variable for rural digital infra-structure and utilizes a multi-period Difference-in-Differences(DID)approach to examine the impact of rural digital infrastructure on the urban‒rural income gap.The research finds that rural digital infrastruc-ture significantly narrows the income gap between urban and rural areas.After the implementation of the'Universal Telecommunications Service'pilot policy,the Theil index and urban-rural income ratio in the pilot regions decreased on average by 0.0061 and 0.0863 units,respectively.Mechanism analysis indicates that rural digital infrastructure primarily reduces the income gap by promoting the flow of labor from rural to urban areas.Heterogeneity analysis shows that the policy effects are more pronounced in regions with weak talent cultivation capabilities,as well as in western and non-central cities.It is recommended to con-solidate and expand the achievements of the universal telecommunications service pilot policy,enhance the standards of rural digital infrastructure,strengthen its integration with digital skills training for farm-ers and new urbanization initiatives and prioritize improvements in rural digital infrastructure in cities with low talent cultivation capabilities,western cities,and non-central cities.关键词
