| Summary: | [Objective] Informatization has been widely conceptualized as an important force that drives high-quality development, and it is of great significance to explore the actual impacts and its influencing paths. [Methods] Based on the panel data of 100 prefecture-level cities in the Pan-Pearl River Delta Region from 2010 to 2019, this study examined the impact of informatization on high-quality development and its influencing path by employing spatial Durbin model and the mediation effect model. [Results] (1) The informatization and high-quality development of the Pan-Pearl River Delta Region showed an overall improvement trend, with obvious spatiotemporal differences. (2) There was a spatial autocorrelation between informatization and high-quality development in the Pan-Pearl River Delta Region, but high-value agglomeration occurred only in the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration. (3) Informatization can effectively promote high-quality development and had spatial spillover effects, and entrepreneurial activity played a mediating role. (4) The mediation effects of entrepreneurial activity were different between IT enterprises and non-IT enterprises. Informatization had a greater impact on the entrepreneurial activities of IT enterprises. [Conclusion] Informatization can promote high-quality development of local and surrounding areas through entrepreneurial activities. The Pan-Pearl River Delta Region should continuously advance informatization, encourage entrepreneurship, and take advantage of the driving effects of key cities, to achieve high-quality development of the whole area. |
