Yuxin Zhang · 2024 · Journal of Infrastructure Policy and Development

Central and Western regions show that combining internet access diversity with income and risk attitudes drives higher educational spending. These findings suggest targeted digital infrastructure policies can help reduce urban-rural education inequality.
