Analysis On The Relation Between Information Consumption And Economic Growth And The Regional Differences In China

As the information ear approaching, we are besieged by information in social and economic activities. Information consumption appears all of a sudden as one kind of the new type of consumption ,which is conforming to information development of the times.In China, the Sixteenth National Congress declared to accelerate the informatization course,and put developing information consumption in a brand-new altitude. With slanting high investing rates and low consuming rates in the present stage, if information consumption has flourished ,we'll overcome weak aspect of consumption, and make an important and far-reaching effects in China. However, because of existence of digital divide, the sustainable development of economy and the stability of social has been hindered, the new stratum have been gradually formed,and become more and more clear. And then , how, to measure information consumption effects economic growth, how huge the digital divide is, whether will it be more serious while time expands, and the influence to the differece of economics, that's all we ought to study.This paper tries to do some primary research about this field, applying modern economic measure instrument. Using VEC model, IRF model and variance decomposition,to explain the dynamic relationship between two,and how to effect each other. Then, after introducing information consumption function, we make use of Panel Date model,to analyse the differece between country and urban,and within region, to explore the influence of income distribution and education. On the other hand, it reflects that the gap of information consumption becomes more obvious as time goes by, through the method called weighter kernel density estimation,and at last ,it analysis the relationship between the difference of information consumption and the difference of the growth of region economics.The conclusion as follows: first of all, information consumption can promote economic growth powerfully, because of the mechanism of stability in long term and fluctuation in short time within the relation of informaion consumption and economic growth. Second, income and the information consumption in earlier age will affect information consumption notably,so does income distribution and education. Next, not only at expendature of information consumption ,but also in the pattern of consumption ,it shows difference both within urban,countryside and region. Nodoubtly ,it's level improves,but the digital divide enlarged with time flies by, and the difference of information consumption is one reason of the difference of economics.Therefore, it should be develop information industry, accelerate the informatization course, stimulate information consumption, then drive the development of economy; and should be deepen reform,increase income, reduce the income gap, improve level of education,to control the gap of digital divide.
