Research An Regional Heterogeneity Of E-commerce Development To Economic Growth

The rise of Internet information technology has greatly changed the way people produce and live,causing great changes in social production and consumption activities.In the wave of information ages,e-commerce occupies an important position.E-commerce has the advantages of reducing the market transaction cost,reducing the time and space limitation of transactions,and reducing the marketing cost of production enterprises.As a new growth point of economic growth,e-commerce plays very important role in promoting economic growth,optimizing regional coordinated development,and narrowing the regional gap.It is generally believed that e-commerce will promote the faster development of agriculture in the central and western regions with obvious advantages of characterisitic agricultural products,and is conducive to the reshuffle of the layout of manufacturing regions,the migration of enterprises from the eastern coastal regions to the reduction central and western regions,and the reduction of regional differences.However,the conclusion of this study does not support this view.First of all,this paper constructs a three-factor model with capital input,effective labor input and the development level of e-commerce as variables by taking the development level of e-commerce as the key factor affecting economic growth into the neoclassical economic growth model,And theoretically explores the relationship between the development of e-commerce and regional economic growth by constructing Cobb-Douglas constant elasticity production function,and uses China’s 2001-2015 provincial panel data.China’s 31 provinces(municipalities directly under the central government and autonomous regions)are divided into eastern and central and western regions.Fixed effect model are used to discuss the differences in the impact of e-commerce development on economic growth in eastern and central and western regions.Secondly,this paper generalizes the Cobb-Douglas constant elasticity production function constructed in the above part to variable elasticity production function,and uses threshold effect model,taking traffic infrastructure construction level as threshold variable,to investigate the key role of traffic infrastructure construction level in the development of e-commerce in China’s regional economic growth.The conclusions drawn in this paper are as follows:1.The level of e-commerce development will affect the per capita output value that will eventually reach a steady state,and meet the conditions of rice fields,that is,the level of e-commerce development will have a positive impact on economic growth,and the impact will decrease with the increase of e-commerce development level;2.The improvement of the development level of e-commerce promotes the economic growth in the eastern region more than in the central and western regions.Therefore,it is concluded that the development of e-commerce will expand the regional differences under the current situation.3.The effect of the development of e-commerce on economic growth is affected by the level of traffic infrastructure construction and the only threshold value is 0.3938.When the level of traffic infrastructure construction is lower than this threshold value,the development level of e-commerce has less effect on economic growth.When the level of traffic infrastructure construction is higher than this threshold value,the improvement of the development level of e-commerce plays a greater role in promoting economic growth.This paper not only proves theoretically and empirically that there are regional differences in the effects of the development of e-commerce on regional economic growth,but also concludes that the development of e-commerce is not conducive to narrowing the regional economic gap under the current conditions.And from the perspective of specific infrastructure construction level,it explains the reason why the development of e-commerce is not conducive to narrowing the regional gap under the existing conditions,that is,the role of e-commerce development in regional economic growth needs to be realized by relying on relatively perfect traffic infrastructure construction.Therefore,in order to better play the role of e-commerce development in promoting regional economic growth and promote a more coordinated development of regional economy,all regions should fully consider the characteristics of the region,adjust measures to local conditions and carry out control.In regions with relatively perfect traffic infrastructure construction,the government should establish e-commerce industrial parks to encourage e-commerce entrepreneurship.In regions with relatively backward traffic infrastructure construction,the government should focus on improving traffic infrastructure construction.The research results of this paper have important practical significance for thinking about how to realize the positive effect of the development of e-commerce on economic activities and how to coordinate the development gap between regions.
