摘要：随着数字网络技术深入发展，因接入和使用差异造成的数字鸿沟问题愈发凸显，由此带来的信息红利差异对个体创业具有重要影响，然而其影响具有城乡差异的原因尚不明晰。本文结合社会网络理论，利用中国家庭追踪调查（CFPS）2018年的微观数据探究数字鸿沟对个体创业选择的影响及其城乡异质性的作用渠道，结果表明：数字鸿沟显著抑制个体创业选择，对城乡个体具有不同程度的抑制作用，这是由其中的作用渠道差异造成的，正式融资、社会资本、信息渠道、风险偏好、认知能力是数字鸿沟抑制个体创业的渠道，但数字鸿沟更显著地抑制农村个体的信息渠道、风险偏好和认知能力。因此，政府应继续推进城乡地区互联网覆盖，尤其应注重提升农村居民互联网使用能力，规范和健全农村地区金融借贷服务体系。

Abstract: With the in-depth development of digital technology, the problem of the digital divide caused by differences in Internet access and use has becomemore and more prominent. The resulting differences in information dividends have an important impact on individual entrepreneurship. However, the reasons for the differences of the impact between urban and rural areas are still unclear. This paper uses the micro data of the CFPS 2018 to explore the impact of the digital divideon individual entrepreneurship, the mechanism of the impact and its urban-rural heterogeneity. The results show that the digital divide significantly inhibits individual entrepreneurship, and has different degrees of inhibition on urban and rural individuals. Formal financing,social capital,information channels,risk preference, and cognitive ability are the mechanisms by which the digital divide inhibits individual entrepreneurship,but the digital divide more significantly inhibits rural individuals' information channels, risk preference and cognition ability, thus inhibiting their entrepreneurship even more. Therefore, the government should continue to promote Internet coverage both in urban and rural areas,with particular emphasis on improving the ability of rural residents to use the Internet, and standardize and improve the financial lending service system in rural areas.
