The influence of digital finance on family wealth and income inequity in China

Xinyao Han

Abstract


This study examines regional GDP and income levels using China’s National Bureau of Statistics data, revealing persistent regional
imbalances despite overall growth. Through correlation analysis and multiple linear regression model, introducing the Peking University Dig_x005fital Financial Inclusion Index (2013-2020) and correlating it with disposable income, digital finance’s positive impact on income is evident.
Survey data indicates digital finance enhances payment, basic financial services, and counters institutional deficiencies. Utilizing the index
and gray prediction model forecasts robust digital finance growth over the next decade.
