Abstract
Resource market reforms have provided opportunities for reducing the digital divide (DD). In this study, we analyzed the theoretical mechanism of the impact of market integration (MI) on DD and the intermediary role of innovation resource (IR) synergy. Data from 271 cities in China were collected, and the DEA–Malmquist index and Thiel index were utilized to quantify DD among these cities during 2011–2019. The intermediary effect and SDM models were adopted for an empirical analysis. The results showed that (1) MI had a negative effect on DD in addition to significant spatial spillover effects. MI widened DD in the local city but narrowed the same in the adjacent cities. (2) IR synergy exerted positive intermediary effects, which were heterogeneous. Through human resource synergy, MI narrowed DD, through knowledge synergy, MI widened DD, and through the R&D capital synergy, MI did not significantly influence DD. (3) There was no significant spatial spillover effect of the intermediary role of IR synergy.

Methods
For the selection of spatial scope, missing data were excluded from the national list of cities, resulting in 271 cities. Most empirical data were sourced from the China Statistical Yearbook, China Science and Technology Statistical Yearbook, the statistical yearbooks of provinces (municipals and districts) and cities, the web of Mark Data (https://www.macrodatas.cn/). The expedition period was between the year 2011 to 2019 owing to the availability of data.
