Abstract

Urban-rural integration is an advanced stage in the development and evolution of urban-rural relations, and an important path to achieve the goals of the rural revitalization strategy. The article empirically investigates the impact of digital economy on the development of urban-rural integration based on panel data of 29 Chinese provinces from 2006 to 2023. The findings show that the digital economy can significantly promote the development of urban-rural integration; and that mediating variables such as social services and government behavior play an important indirect role in this development process. Accordingly, this paper puts forward policy recommendations to strengthen the construction of urban-rural digital infrastructure, promote the digital distribution of public service resources, and implement digital regulation of government behavior.
