Study On The Mechanism Of The New Urbanization Promoting The Upgrading Of Consumption Structure Of Residents

Based on the theory of urbanization and new urbanization,the theory of consumption structure upgrading,combined with the current situation of new urbanization and upgrading of residents’ consumption structure,this paper argues that the theoretical analysis of new urbanization to promote the upgrading of residents’ consumption structure can be sorted out from three aspects.The first is to improve the income level of residents to enhance the consumption ability of residents,and then make the residents have a higher real purchasing power,leading to the upgrading of the consumption structure of residents.Second,by improving the consumption environment,tapping the consumption potential of residents,thereby reducing the potential purchasing power of residents,enabling residents to pursue consumption at a higher demand level and promote the upgrading of residents’ consumption structure.The third is to optimize the industrial structure,enrich the supply level of consumer goods,and then expand the range of product choices for residents,and promote the upgrading of residents’ consumption structure on the basis of material security.In order to test the promotion effect of new urbanization on the upgrading of residents’ consumption structure,based on the dynamic panel data of provinces from 2006 to 2016,this paper uses the improved entropy method to construct three sub-indicators of new urbanization,including income effect indicators,consumption environment effect indicators and industrial structure optimization effect indicators.The overall and sub-regional empirical studies were carried out by means of the system GMM and the deviation-corrected LSDV method.The overall empirical results show that the new urbanization does promote theupgrading of residents’ consumption structure through income effect,consumption environment effect and industrial structure optimization effect,and the income effect has the greatest promotion effect,indicating that income factor is still the key factor affecting the upgrading of residents’ consumption structure.The promotion of consumption environment effects and industrial structure optimization effects needs to be further strengthened.The sub-regional empirical results show that the three major effects in the eastern region are larger than those in the central,western and northeastern regions,and there are great differences among the four regions.Finally,the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are put forward to better play the role of new urbanization in promoting the upgrading of residents’ consumption structure.The countermeasures include further improving the income distribution mechanism,and improving the income level of residents;deepening the linkage reform of the household registration and social security system,promoting new urbanization according to local conditions;increasing efforts to optimize the consumption environment and reduce the development gap between regions;further optimizing the industrial structure,and upgrading the consumption structure with the industrial development;promoting the rational and healthy consumption concept and improving the consumption habits of residents.
