数字鸿沟对相对贫困的影响效应及作用机制OA

This paper explores the impact of digital divide on relative poverty by selecting the data of China Family Tracking Survey(CFPS)in 2020 to measure the family digital divide index through principal component analysis,and run the Probit model,mediation effect model and KHB model.Results show that the digital divide can significantly increase likelihood of the relative poverty of households,and this positive effect is more obvious in the elderly group.The results of mediation effect analysis show that the digital divide can increase the probability of relative poverty by weakening the social network and reducing credit availability,and the digital divide exerts a greater proportion of its direct effects on relative poverty through the aforementioned two pathways.
