数字经济与农民增收

Digital Economy and Farmers'Income Growth

利用数字经济赋能农民增收,深度挖掘出农村市场经济潜力,已成为构建“双循环”新发展格局的坚实基础。文章基于2011~2019年城市面板数据,采用面板固定效应模型、中介效应模型实证分析了数字经济对农民收入的影响及其作用机制。研究发现:数字经济能够显著促进农民增收,这一结论在更换解释变量、缩小研究区间和运用工具变量估计等一系列检验后仍然成立;作用机制检验表明:数字经济通过促进劳动力流动、缓解金融约束和提升技能溢价等途径促进了农民增收;异质性分析表明,数字经济对东部城市、资源型城市的农民增收效果更加明显,对高收入农民群体的促增收效果更好。文章研究扩展了数字经济对农民收入影响的相关理论,所得结论为数字经济助力农民增收提供了可靠的实证支持,同时也为加快农业农村现代化,多维度提高农民收入的政策制定提供了理论参考。

Based on urban panel data from 2011 to 2019,this paper explores the impact of the digital economy on farmers'income and its mechanism by using fixed-effects model(FE),mediation effect model(ME).The study finds that the digital economy can significantly contribute to farmers'income,and this finding still holds after a series of tests such as replacing explanatory variables,narrowing the study interval and applying instrumental variable estimation;The mechanism of action test shows that the digital economy promotes farmers'income by facilitating labor mobility,alleviating financial constraints and enhancing skill premiums.Heter-ogeneity analysis shows that the digital economy is more effective in increasing farmers'income in eastern cities and resource-based cities,and is more effective in promoting income growth for high-income farmer groups.The study of the above questions will,on the one hand,help enrich the theories about the digital economy contributing to agricultural efficiency and farmers'income,and promote the process of digital economy for the benefit of all;on the other hand,it is of great practical guidance for the country to formulate policies to promote farmers'income,compre-hensively promote rural revitalization and expand domestic demand.
