摘要
Inclusive green growth (IGG) has been widely discussed for its emphasis on coordinating economic growth quality, social equity, as well as environmentally sustainable development. New infrastructure, representing network and information infrastructure construction, has emerged as a pivotal national strategy to stimulate socioeconomic progress, and its impact on the inclusive green growth deserves careful exploration. Employing the staggered difference-in-difference (staggered DID) approach, this study investigates the influence of new infrastructure on IGG based on Chinese prefecture-level city data from 2011 to 2019, taking advantage of the “Broadband China” strategy (BCS) as a quasi-natural experiment. The results indicate a significant enhancement in IGG due to new infrastructure construction, which remains tenable after rigorous robustness assessments. Further testing with the spatial Durbin DID method reveals that BCS has a significant positive spillover impact on IGG in neighboring areas. For its underlying mechanisms, new infrastructure construction enhances IGG mainly by reinforcing industrial structure supererogation, improving the urban innovation level, and developing digital inclusive finance. There is also evidence that heterogeneity highlights the advancing effects of IGG in the central region, non-aging industrial base cities and non-resource-based cities. This research sheds new light on the understanding of the effect of new infrastructure on promoting IGG through both conceptual and empirical aspects and is conducive to future policymaking for developing countries.
