摘要: The aim of this study is to gauge the drag China’s urban-rural digital divide (URDD) on urbanization. study, drawing Romer’s thought concerning growth drag, employing Cobb-Douglas production function and an urbanization equation, derives equation URDD’s impact Using co-integration methodology, unit root tests, panel data provinces in China over period from 2000 2009, documents existence calculates its value 6.38%, indicating that velocity for declines 6.38% case relative without limitation. also finds knowledge-based epoch, techniques awareness need be cultivated enhanced rural residents, specifically qualifications, with objective accelerating process achieving equilibrium development areas. concludes limitations fields future research.
