“…Lin et al (2017) discovered that internet penetration is positively related to economic growth, but internet spillover actually causes regional economic divergence. Also in China, Wang et al (2021) confirmed that ICT has a positive impact on social and economic development.…”

“…However, the rise of people using the internet in an area will hinder the inclusive development in adjacent areas. The digital divide among provinces in Indonesia may be contributed to this phenomenon (Wang et al, 2021). A province with high internet penetration may achieve high growth and seize the benefit of economic development earlier.…”

“…The main independent variable is internet penetration as measured by individuals using the internet per 100 inhabitants. In addition, this study also includes additional independent variables, namely trade openness, investment, population density, and government spending (Alekhina & Ganelli, 2020;Anand et al, 2013;Aslam et al, 2021;Jalles & de Mello, 2019;Wang et al, 2021). All variables are in the form of natural logarithms.…”

Technology utilization is often considered one of the main drivers promoting inclusive development. As a form of technology utilization, whether using the internet can promote inclusive development has been a concern for researchers and policymakers. Considering geographical connectivity characteristics, we examine the effects of internet penetration on inclusive development by applying spatial econometric models and using data from 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2015 to 2020. This study reveals that encouraging the internet penetration can significantly improves the inclusive development in a province. However, the increase of internet penetration leads to the decrease of inclusive development in neighboring provinces. The digital divide among provinces in Indonesia can be attributed to this phenomenon. This study also indicates a strong positive spatial correlation of inclusive development. Our findings point to the need for policies to promote people's use of the internet to achieve more benefits from development, balance the digital development to reduce the harmful effects of the digital divide, and consider the spatial aspects when making policies to promote inclusive development.

“…(see Table 2). In terms of green economy, based on existing studies [ 22 , 23 ], we divide economic growth into three first-level indicators, which include economic growth scale, economic growth structure, and economic growth benefits [ 22 , 23 ]. Based on first-level indicators, we build thirteen secondary-level indicators, including GDP (100 million yuan), industrial production value (100 million yuan), tertiary industry added value as a percentage of GDP (%), retail sales of consumer goods per capita (yuan), income gap (yuan), urbanization rate (%), etc.…”

Promoting the coordinated development of ecological environment and technological innovation is significant to the development of a green economy. In this study, we construct an index system of ecological environment, technological innovation, and green economy based on the panel data of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2005 to 2016, using the entropy weight method, the coupling coordination model, and the panel vector autoregressive model (PVAR) to calculate the comprehensive development levels of ecological environment, technological innovation, and green economy and the coordination degree between ecological environment and technological innovation, and then further explore the impact of the coordinated development level of ecological environment and technological innovation on the development of a green economy. The research results include: First, from 2005 to 2016, the comprehensive development levels of ecological environment, technological innovation, and green economy in China’s 30 provinces and cities achieved different degrees of improvement as a whole. Among them, the comprehensive development level of green economy was the highest, followed by the development level of technological innovation, and the comprehensive development level of ecological environment was the lowest. Second, from 2005 to 2016, the coordination degree between ecological environment and technological innovation in China’s provinces and cities increased year by year, but on the whole, the coordination degree between ecological environment and technological innovation in various regions was in a state of imbalance. Third, there was a long-term equilibrium relationship among the coordinated development levels of ecological environment, technological innovation, and green economy. Fourth, through pulse analysis and Monte Carlo simulation, we found that the coordinated development level of ecological environment and technological innovation had a lagging positive impact on green economy. Finally, we provide a summary of the results of this study.

“…The importance of SEI research done at the rural-level students captures the critical spatial factors of EMIS, which is still ignored in a high gross domestic product (GDP) growth country China. For instance, Wang et al (2021) pointed out that Information and communication technology (ICT) had a significant influence on the economy and society in recent decades. More precisely, although ICT is critical for promoting socioeconomic development (SED), and its detrimental impact on SED in neighboring regions (education, schools, and academic achievements), meaning that China’s provinces have a digital divide that might lead to high socioeconomic growth and the inequality remains constant.…”

There is currently enough systematic literature presents about socioeconomic inequalities across different disciplines. However, this study relates socioeconomic inequality (SEI) to rural students educational management information systems (EMIS) in different schools in China. The dynamic force of information technology could not be constrained in the modern techno-based world. Similarly, the study was qualitative and ethnographic. Data were collected through an interview guide and analyzed with thematic scientific analysis. Ten male and ten female students were interviewed based on data saturation point. The purposive sampling technique was used for the rural school and students’ selection. This study summarizes the findings and brings together in-depth emic and etic findings based on new Marxist conflict theory, exploitation, and domination power lens. The study found that SEI creates disparities among EMIS. Household income inequality has influenced on educational achievements of rural areas’ students. Gender-based SEI was not present among students. Family wealth and SES-based exploitation are present regarding EMIS among male and female students. Household wealth is significant for the EMIS. The study put forward a recommendation to the policymakers that exploitation could be overcome among students if the government provides equal opportunities for access to the EMIS.
