ABSTRACT: In this
paper, the effect of the mediation effect is mainly used to test and analyze
the regression model, and most scholars have studied the impact of the
modernization of the industrial structure on the income gap. However, this
paper is from another perspective, based on the social background of
high-quality development, the main study is the impact mechanism of urban and
rural income gap on the industrial structure, taking the Yangtze River Delta as
the main research object, and specifically selecting 22 central cities in the
Yangtze River Delta region, which is also one of the highlights of this study.
The regression model is constructed by using the intermediary effect, and the
four intermediary variables of fiscal expenditure (M1), fixed
asset investment (M2),
number of patent applications (M3),
and total import and export (M4)
are selected, which represent the role of the government, fixed asset
investment, scientific and technological level and opening-up level, and study
and analyze the inherent influence mechanism between each variable. Before
doing specific research, I consulted the papers and literature of many other
outstanding scholars, among which Cheng Yuhong and Cheng Chi’s “The Influence
Mechanism of industrial structure of urban and rural income gap” [1] has great
reference value for this paper. According to the research results, under the
background of high-quality development in the Yangtze River Delta region, the
expansion of the income gap between urban and rural areas will inhibit the
upgrading of the industrial structure, so it is necessary to focus on building
a new type of urbanization, accelerating the construction of an urban
innovation system, optimizing the rural employment structure to narrow the
income gap between urban and rural areas, and providing impetus for the
continuous upgrading of the industrial structure.
