abstract: 'In the context of the rapid development of digital economy and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
promotion of sustainable development, this paper focuses on the impact
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of digital economy on income levels. Based on the panel data of 195
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
prefecture-level cities, the ``Broadband China{''''} pilot has been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regarded as a natural experiment for the measurement of the digital
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economy. In this paper, a time-varying DID model was established to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evaluate the influential effect of ``Broadband China{''''} on income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
growth. It was found that the coming into service of ``Broadband
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
China{''''} has increased the overall income level of the Chinese labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
force. Further research found that ``Broadband China{''''} has done more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to raise the income levels of the high-skilled labor force, thus
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
widening the income gap between the high-, medium-, and low-skilled
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor force. ``Broadband China{''''} can affect the income growth via two
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mechanisms, namely, ``increasing the entrepreneurship rate{''''} and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``leading to an increase in the overall number of professional and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skilled labor force in China{''''}. In this case, the entrepreneurship
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rate of the high-skilled labor force may be higher than that of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
medium- and low-skilled labor force due to human capital accumulation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The rapid increase in the high-skilled labor force in technical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industries will lead to the situation where their income growth effect
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is higher than that of the medium- and low-skilled labor force. Based on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the above research results, this paper puts forward policy suggestions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from three aspects: further accelerating the process of digital economy;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improving the institutional environment of the broadband network and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
standardizing the order of the construction of the broadband network;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and further stimulating the entrepreneurial motivation of labor force,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paying attention to the problem of skill bias and optimizing the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment structure, balancing efficiency and equity, and contributing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the ultimate sustainable development of developing countries.'
