As the wide application of new Information and Communication Technologies(ICTs) shows, the world is moving fast towards an information age. Since China was first connected to the Internet in 1994, the development of ICTs in China and around the world has been astonishingly fast, and yet there is a clear ′digital divide′ among different cities in China. Although Chinese geographers have paid attention to regional differences in the development of the information society, they usually employ a limited number of indicators, mainly focusing on the Internet. In fact, information society is a much broader concept, covering not only the Internet, but also mobile phones as well as user ability. In the light of these considerations, this study provides a comprehensive examination of the development of information society, and its spatial differences in China. First, based on a literature review, the paper identifies 29 preliminary indicators for measuring the development of information society, and employs principal components analysis and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process to streamline them into 12 indicators to form an ICT Development Index(IDI). Second, by using the data from city statistical yearbooks and the China Internet Network Information Center, the paper calculates the IDI of 317 cities in 2000–2010, and measures the changing spatial differences in the development of information society in China. Lastly, the paper quantifies the relationship between the development of information society and economic growth. The empirical results show that the IDI of the western and central China has been increasing faster than that of the coastal region, indicating that the digital divide in China has been narrowing.

使用由多个数据库链接的微观数据,对中国对外援助能否促进中国企业的能源对外直接投资(Outward Foreign Direct Investment,OFDI)决策进行计量检验,结果发现：中国在东道国的援助活动显著增大了中国企业对东道国进行能源0FDI的概率,且当年援助的投资促进效应大于累计援助的促进效应,该结果在多种模型设定下均表现稳健;进一步检验中,研究发现中国对外援助对能源OFDI的促进效应在援助形式、用途和国家类别上存在广泛异质性,其中复合化和高级化的援助形式如技术援助和出口信贷,直接用于经济基础设施、能源产业发展、东道国政府财政的援助,以及援助“一带一路”沿线国家更能激发中国对外援助的能源OFDI促进效应。本文为中国对外援助能够带动中国能源OFDI提供了直接的微观证据,也为如何发挥对外援助的能源OFDI驱动效应提供了有益启示。
