The level of informatization is an important indicator of a country or region’s level of economic development, and many domestic and foreign scholars have studied this topic. Informatization is seen as a developing social phenomenon, with both national and regional characteristics, therefore the foreign standard systems are not entirely suitable for the development of an information society in China. This paper establishes new indexes and designs an optimal evaluation index system according to the characteristics of informatization. The optimal index system is more suitable for the current development of informatization in China. Using this index system, we measure the informatization level in Beijing from 2003 to 2012. Using the Cobb–Douglass model, we construct an information benefit evaluation model to verify the positive effect of informatization on economic development in Beijing. To further study the relationship between the informatization evaluation index and the urban–rural income gap, we conduct a regression between the information evaluation index and the urban–rural income gap. It provides a quantitative scientific basis for the study of the impact of information technology on economic and social development plans, enabling improved government decision-making.
