A recent paper by IIDPF researcher Zhang Yun, How Digital Intelligence Affects Dual Cycle Participation and Income Gap - Based on Province-Industry Level Data, has been officially published in Management World, Issue 10, 2023.
Abstract
How is digital intelligence intrinsically linked to dual-cycle participation and income disparity? This paper selects interregional non-competitive input-output tables from the China Carbon Accounting Databases (CEADs) in 2012, 2015 and 2017, and finds that, firstly, from the perspectives of integration of product markets, integration of factor markets, and participation in global value chains, Numerical Intelligence promotes the domestic macro-cycle and the domestic-international dual-cycle. Secondly, by leading to the integration of product and factor markets in upstream and downstream value chains, digital intelligence reduces transaction costs and increases total factor productivity, thus facilitating the dual cycle. Third, digital intelligence mainly improves the downstream participation in global and domestic value chains between provinces, while the effect of downstream participation is not directly related to the industry's own position in the value chain, and mainly improves the domestic macro-cycle of "outflow in the form of final products", and the linkage effect of geographic location only promotes the "Eastern-Eastern" provinces' internal value chain. The linkage effect of geographical location only facilitates the domestic macro-cycle within the "East-East" provinces and the domestic and international dual-cycle in the Eastern provinces. Fourthly, in the context of the dual cycle, digital intelligence has led to a greater decline in relative income disparities between "province-industry-correspondent provinces", which varies across different economic structures, market structures and institutional environments.
