Digital inclusive finance has become an important “tool” to promote the prosperity of entrepreneurship in the process of Chinesestyle modernization. The impact of digital inclusive finance on countylevel entrepreneurship is examined based on panel data from 1, 681 counties in China from 2014 to 2021. It is found that digital inclusive finance has a significant effect on promoting countylevel entrepreneurship. Mechanism test indicates that digital inclusive finance affects countylevel entrepreneurship through three channels: improving communication infrastructure, optimizing industrial structure, and enhancing the level of innovation. Heterogeneity test reveals that digital inclusive finance has a stronger promotional effect on small and mediumsized and secondary and tertiary entrepreneurship, and a stronger financial support effect on entrepreneurship in the central, western and northeastern regions than that in the eastern region. The spatial spillover effect test shows that the development of digital inclusive finance in this county can also promote the occurrence of entrepreneurship in neighboring counties. The findings of this paper provide useful reference for strengthening digital inclusive finance to promote the prosperity of Chinesestyle entrepreneurship.
