- Abstract
Based on provincial panel data from 2013 to 2022, the Theil index for 31 provinces in china is measured, and the impact of digital inclusive finance on the urban-rural residents income gap is empirically examined using the two-way fixed-effects model. This study found that: (1) Digital inclusive finance significantly narrows the urban-rural residents income gap; (2) Sub-sample regression results indicate that inhibitory effect is more pronounced in the eastern region; (3) The level of economic development plays a crucial role in moderating the effect of digital inclusive finance on the urban-rural residents income gap. This study concludes that digital inclusive finance should be vigorously promoted, but the government should emphasize coordinated regional development when introducing relevant policies, implement differentiated development strategies, and optimize the development environment for digital inclusive finance.
