How regional innovation and entrepreneurship vitality affects residents' leisure consumption potential

Innovation and entrepreneurship vitality, as a key factors in the development of the digital economy, significantly affects both regional economic development and residents' consumption capacity. On the basis of the panel data of 31 provinces and cities in China, this paper explores the impact of regional innovation and entrepreneurship vitality on residents' leisure consumption potential and its internal mechanism. Research has shown that innovation and entrepreneurship vitality drives leisure consumption potential. In particular, the positive effects of capital introduction and technology level on leisure consumption potential are robustly established. Furthermore, regional innovation and entrepreneurship vitality can effectively increase educational investment, which in turn increases residents' leisure consumption potential. Although scientific and technological investment can significantly increase innovation and entrepreneurship vitality, it curtails the development of residents' leisure consumption potential. In addition, the effects of regional innovation and entrepreneurship vitality on resident休闲消费潜力的发挥离不开有效的政策引导和多元化的 人口结构。创新创业政策、外部人口 推动的多元文化交流，可以通过刺激创新创业，促进休闲消费潜力的提升。在经济发展与居民生活不协调的基础上 本研究围绕我国主要矛盾中的精神需求，进一步探讨科技发展与个体美好生活需求的协调性，进一步对创新与消费领域的文献进行补充和论证。

创新创业活力作为数字经济发展的核心要素之一，对区域经济发展与居民消费能力均具有显著影响。本研究基于中国31个省市的面板数据，探讨了区域创新创业活力对居民休闲消费潜力的影响及其内在作用机制。研究结果表明，创新创业活力能够有效驱动居民休闲消费潜力的提升；具体而言，资本引入与技术水平对休闲消费潜力的正向作用具有稳健性。进一步来看，区域创新创业活力可有效提升教育投入，进而推动居民休闲消费潜力的增长。尽管科技投入能够显著增强区域创新创业活力，却会抑制居民休闲消费潜力的释放。此外，区域创新创业活力对居民休闲消费潜力的释放，离不开有效的政策引导与多元化的人口结构支撑：创新创业政策、外部人口流动带来的多元文化交流，可通过激发创新创业活动，进一步提升居民休闲消费潜力。当前我国经济发展与居民生活尚存不协调之处，本研究紧扣新时代我国社会主要矛盾中的精神文化需求，进一步探讨科技发展与个体美好生活需要的适配性，以期为创新与消费领域的相关研究提供补充与实证支撑。
