Abstract

The consensus that the digital economy drives urban-rural integration has been gradually reached both in practice and theory. Besides, the way by which the digital economy drives urban-rural integration remains updated iteratively. The coming period is an important opportunity to break down the dualistic urban-rural structure and improve the urban-rural integration development. It is also a critical stage for China to promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy. In this study, the intrinsic mechanism of the digital economy in driving the four dimensions of urban-rural integration was elaborated. An analysis was made of the spatial effects in 30 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) of China during 2011-2019 using Bivariate Global Moran's I and geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) models. As revealed by the results: (1) the digital economy and the four dimensions of urban-rural integration advance steadily, in which the convergence degree of urban and rural resident consumption is comparatively higher; (2) there is a significant spatial auto-correlation between the digital economy and the four dimensions of urban-rural integration, with the influence gradually strengthened with time; (3) the digital economy exerts mainly positive impacts on the equivalent allocation of urban and rural factors, integration of three industries in urban and rural areas, and convergence degree of urban and rural resident consumption, but inhibits the equalization of urban and rural public services in nearly half research areas; (4) both digital equipment basis and user basis play a vital role in promoting the four dimensions of urban-rural integration.
