数字经济的发展正深刻重塑我国就业市场的格局,催生出一系列新兴就业形态,其中灵活就业正成为劳动者的主要选择之一。基于2014、2015、2016年“宽带中国”示范城市数据与我国2011~2019年239个地级市的数据,采用多时点双重差分法模型,分别探讨了数字经济发展对灵活就业发展的影响。研究发现,数字经济发展对灵活就业的影响有显著效用,且通过缓解劳动力错配促进数字经济发展影响灵活就业水平。进一步研究发现,数字经济对灵活就业的影响在不同地区存在差异,在东部、西部以及胡焕庸线西北侧的影响不显著,而中部地区和胡焕庸线东南侧的影响作用显著。结论揭示了数字经济发展对灵活就业水平的因果影响效应,在政府更有效地制定灵活就业政策、推进劳动力市场的健康发展方面给出了合理建议。The development of the digital economy is profoundly reshaping the pattern of the employment market of China and generating a series of new forms of employment, among which flexible employment is becoming one of the main choices for workers. Based on the data of “Broadband China” demonstration cities in 2014, 2015 and 2016 and the data of 239 prefecture-level cities in China from 2011 to 2019, the multi-time point difference-in-difference model is used to explore the impact of digital economy development on the development of flexible employment. The research finds that the development of digital economy has a significant effect on the impact of flexible employment, and promotes the development of digital economy to affect the level of flexible employment by alleviating labor mismatch. Further research finds that the impact of digital economy on flexible employment varies in different regions. The impact in the eastern and western regions and the northwest side of the Hu Line is not significant, while the impact in the central region and the southeast side of the Hu Line is significant.
