Abstract

Based on the construction of theoretical foundations, this study uses panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2021, and employs regression analysis and mediation mechanism tests to explore the relationship between digital inclusive finance and regional green inclusive growth. The findings indicate that digital inclusive finance significantly enhances the level of regional green inclusive growth, and the results remain significant after addressing endogeneity issues and conducting robustness tests. The mechanism test reveals that digital inclusive finance effectively promotes regional green inclusive growth by improving the efficiency of financial services in supporting the real economy.
