摘要:

本文基于2016—2022年中国城市数据,以2019年国家数字经济创新发展试验区的设立作为准自然实验,考察数字经济政策对城市经济高质量发展的影响。研究结果稳健地表明:试验区建设通过要素激活、动能变革、治理赋能和基建驱动效应促进城市经济高质量发展。拓展研究发现,试验区效应在非资源型、研发环境更佳、规模更大和经济发展程度更高的城市更显著,但在地理区位上并没有显著的异质性,空间分析表明试验区建设产生的溢出效应大于极化效应,能带动经济距离更邻近城市实现高质量发展。本文研究结论为深入理解数字经济政策与经济高质量发展的复杂关系提供新的视角和经验证据,为政策优化升级提供新的思路和参考。

Abstract:

Based on data from Chinese cities spanning the years 2016 to 2022, we examine the impact of digital economy policy on the high–quality development of urban economies. Utilizing the establishment of National–level Pilot Zones for Innovation and Development of Digital Economy in 2019 as a quasi–natural experiment, our findings robustly indicate that the construction of pilot zones facilitates high-quality economic development through mechanisms such as factor activation, shifts in kinetic energy, governance empowerment, and infrastructure-driven effects. Building upon this study, we find that the effect of pilot zone is particularly pronounced in cities characterized by non-resource-based , favorable R&D environments, larger scales, and higher levels of economic development. However, no significant heterogeneity is observed concerning geographic location. Spatial analysis reveals that the spillover effects generated by pilot zone construction surpass polarization effects and can effectively drive high–quality development in economically proximate cities. The insights presented in this paper contribute new perspectives and empirical evidence toward a nuanced understanding of the intricate relationship between digital economy policies and high–quality economic development. Furthermore, they offer innovative ideas and references for policy optimization and enhancement.
