Digital Economy, Industrial Resilience, and the Urban-Rural Income Gap
Abstract
industrial resilience and the urban–rural income gap using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces (2013–2022). Our analysis reveals an inverted U-shaped relationship between digital economic development and the income gap, with China currently on the widening segment of the
curve. Industrial resilience serves as a significant partial mediator, indicating that digital expansion can reduce disparity by strengthening rural industries. We also identify regional heterogeneity, with more pronounced effects in eastern and economically advanced provinces. Policy
measures are proposed to enhance rural digital adaptation, encourage technology market expansion, and promote digital integration in rural
industries.
