农业保险、非农就业与地区收入差距——基于共同富裕视角

The Mediating Effect of Non-Agricultural Employment of Agricultural Insurance to Narrow the Regional Income Gap Under the Background of Common Prosperity

【目的/意义】共同富裕是中国式现代化的重要特征,缩小地区收入差距是实现共同富裕的必然要求。【设计/方法】首先尝试构建一个同时包含落后和发达两个地区农业人口非农就业的柯布道格拉斯生产函数模型和理论分析框架,系统阐释农业保险对地区收入差距的作用渠道和影响效应;其次通过建立中介效应模型实证考察农业保险对地区收入差距的影响效果及作用机制。【结论/发现】农业保险是缩小地区收入差距的重要动力,非农就业是农业保险缩小地区收入差距的重要机制,农业保险通过提升农业效率加速非农就业,进而缩小地区收入差距;农业保险对地区收入差距的影响,会因非农就业水平不同而表现出明显差异,相比非农就业低水平地区,农业保险在非农就业中、高水平地区,对地区收入差距具有更显著的影响效应。

[Purpose/Significance]Common prosperity is an important feature of Chinese path to modernization.Narrowing the regional income gap is an inevitable requirement for achieving common prosperity.[Design/Methodology]Firstly,this paper attempts to build a Cobb Douglas production function model and theoretical analysis framework that includes non-agricultural employment of rural population in both backward and developed regions,to systematically explain the channels and effects of agricultural insurance on regional income gap.Secondly,through the establishment of intermediary effect model,this paper empirically examines the effect and mechanism of agricultural insurance on regional income gap.[Conclusions/Findings]Agricultural insurance is an important driving force to narrow the regional income gap,and non-agricultural employment is an important mechanism for agricultural insurance to narrow the regional income gap.Agricultural insurance accelerates non-agricultural employment by improving agricultural production efficiency,thereby reducing the regional income gap.The impact of agricultural insurance on regional income gap will show significant differences due to different levels of non-agricultural employment.Compared with the low level of non-agricultural employment,agricultural insurance has a more significant convergence effect on regional income gap in the middle and high level of non-agricultural employment.
