Based on theoretical analysis, this study examines the relationship between development of China’s digital economy and urban–rural income gap by using an empirical model to test panel data for 30 provinces in China from 2009 2019. The results reveal that (1) there is a “U-shaped” gap, with narrowing early stages widening medium-to-long term. (2) peripheral regions will have impact region through spatial spillover. (3) heterogeneity tests has stronger western weaker east. (4) A double difference “Broadband Rural” construction as policy shock variable reveals pilot project helped reduce gap. This deepens our understanding integrated development. It provides basis practical experience enhancing living standard rural residents promoting urban areas.

The present paper investigates the problem of defining an easy-to-implement tool to evaluate Digital Divide (DD) among and, above all, within countries grasp sub-national divides and appropriately inform policy-makers guiding digital transformation processes. With this aim in mind, study focuses on Economy Society Index (DESI), most recent currently used CI for DD measurement across European states. A methodology employing correlation principal component analysis is adopted assess redundancies DESI obtain a reduced version index with significantly lower number indicators. Experiments performed using 2020 data related 29 EU demonstrate that produces very similar results original one, thus proving existence its current structure. An extensive Italian case shows how can be more easily applied at level, helping detect between regions offering meaningful policy-making support. In particular, framework analyze obtained proposed support identification adequate interventions national level or targeted actions mitigate disparities lagging regions.

To obtain updated local data on prevalence Internet access usage their relationship with perceived well-being, we conducted telephone interviews random sample 1018 Hong Kong from January July 2021 (This research received funding support Interdisciplinary Matching Scheme, Baptist University). We found only 76.5% participants had at home, mobile phone plan, or both, whereas 36.3% never used services 18.2% no devices. A younger age, male gender, higher education level, living others, self-perceived class were associated material devices everyday use services. Participants who accessed every day levels life satisfaction self-rated physical mental health than those rarely Internet. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed skills significantly even when controlling demographic variables (including class). This study contributes limited body literature between use, skills, Our findings highlight importance cities high penetration information communication technology, such Kong. also discuss our insights into timely interventions address gray divide.
