Chinese inter-provincial border cities provide panel data from 2014 to 2023. The dataset likely contains metrics for analyzing the impact of digital-economy development on regional air quality. It was authored by Huifu Li and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the impact of digital economy development on air quality based on panel data from Chinese border cities
• Studying spatial-spillover effects of economic policies on cross-regional pollution diffusion
• Investigating mechanisms like market segmentation and environmental regulation capacity in border regions
• Modeling heterogeneity in policy effects across non-contiguous, poverty-stricken, and less-coordinated regions

Strengths

• Panel data structure covering a 10-year time range from 2014 to 2023
• Focus on a specific geographic context: Chinese inter-provincial border cities
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope or aggregated summary data
