| The report of the 19 th National People’s Congress proposed that China’s economy has switched from the high growth stage to the high quality development period,and advancing the high quality development of the economy at this phase is a major part of the task.As the second longest river in China,the Yellow River spans the eastern,central,and western regions,and its drainage area passes through nine provinces.The rich resource reserves in the Yellow River basin play an important role in economic development,and the environment in the basin is also an important ecological site for maintaining biodiversity.However,the past extensive development model not only seriously hindered the healthy development of the provincial economy in the basin,but also exacerbated the ecological instability.As a new economic model,the digital economy can not only provide new impetus for development,but also provide a new front for revolutionary innovation.In China’s "14th Five Year Plan",specific plans for the development of the digital economy have also been proposed.This paper intends to study the impact of the digital economy on the high quality economic development under the particular region of the Yellow River Basin from 2011 to 2020,and provide suggestions for making fuller use of the digital economy to achieve high quality economic development in the future.First,starting from domestic and international literature,we will grasp the current status of research on the connotation of high-quality economic development,sort out the development of digital economy,describe the connotation and measurement methods of the main variables in this paper,and propose the impact path of digital economy on the high-quality economic development of the Yellow River Basin from the four perspectives of enterprises,workers,industries and society based on the theoretical basis;Secondly,construct an indicator system for the development of the digital economy,using the entropy method to calculate;After that,control variables were introduced from four aspects:education,government,investment,and transportation.The spatial effects of digital economy on high-quality economic development in the Yellow River Basin were studied using a fixed effect spatial Dubin model,and the robustness was tested;Finally,draw relevant conclusions and development recommendations.The study found that: first,the overall development level of digital economy and the quality development level of the Yellow River Basin economy is good,but the uneven development and differences between provinces and regions in the basin.Secondly,there is a distinct space spillover effect on the level of economic quality development in the Yellow River Basin.Thirdly,the effect of digital economy on the positive space spillover of high quality economic development is remarkable,and the conclusion still holds after the decomposition of the effect.Fourth,improvements in education,government,investment,and transportation are all conducive to high-quality economic development.However,the long-term indirect effect of transportation infrastructure level is negative. |
