Characteristics and influencing factors of digital rural development

In order to provide economic policymakers with a comprehensive understanding of the current status of the development of the digital economy and the factors affecting it, and to grasp the key to accelerating the development of the digital economy, we need to achieve rural revitalization, and common prosperity. Based on the Ali County Digital Countryside Index, the article takes Guangxi, China, as an example, to use exploratory spatial analysis to explore the spatial correlation characteristics of the development level of digital countryside construction in Guangxi counties, and to use the spatial lag model is used to analyze the five aspects of economic foundation, industrial structure, education level, government support and population size that affect Guangxi's digital countryside. The results show that: 1) There is a significant positive spatial correlation in the development level of digital rural areas in Guangxi, and the agglomeration effect of high and low values is significant. 2) The per capita economic base, primary and tertiary industry development levels, and education level have a significant role in promoting the development of digital rural areas in Guangxi, while population size is negatively correlated with digital rural areas in Guangxi counties, and the impact of government support is unclear. The research conclusions of this article can provide reference materials for the development of digital economy.
