Research on the Coupling Development Effect of Digital Inclusive Finance and Construction Industry.

The comprehensive evaluation and the coupling coordination degree model were used to measure the coupling coordination degree of the development level of digital inclusive finance and the construction industry in 31 provinces in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) during the period of 2011-2019. Then, the driving factors of the coupling and coordinated development of the two were analyzed by using spatial exploratory analysis and panel regression model. The results show that the coupling coordination degree between digital inclusive finance and construction industry has an upward trend, and shows significant regional differences and agglomeration characteristics in spatial distribution. Factors such as economic foundation, human capital, government behavior and urban structure have a promoting effect on the coupling and coordinated development of digital inclusive finance and the construction industry, while production efficiency and technological innovation have a negative effect. The conclusions can provide a reference for Chinese provincial administrative regions to realize the positive interaction and coordinated development of digital inclusive finance and construction industry.
