互联网使用、农业生产效率与乡村振兴的内涵式发展

Internet Application,Agricultural Production Efficiency and Rural Revitalization

推进农业智能化建设,提高农业生产效率,是实现乡村振兴的有效途径。基于2010年、2014年、2016年和2018年中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)数据,实证分析互联网使用对农业生产效率的影响和内在机制,最后讨论提升农业生产效率对乡村振兴内涵式发展的重要意义。研究发现:(1)互联网使用能够显著提高农业生产效率,这一结论在经过一系列稳健性检验与内生性处理后仍然成立。(2)机制分析表明农户使用互联网可以加速推广应用农业新兴技术、优化土地资源配置效率和强化社会网络关系,进而提升农业生产效率。(3)异质性分析发现在农村地区、连片特困地区和胡焕庸线以西地区提高农户互联网使用率对农业生产效率的提升作用更显著。(4)进一步分析发现,提高农业生产效率有助于巩固脱贫成果、增加农业家庭收入、助力农民需求升级和提升农民幸福感,从而加快实现乡村振兴的内涵式发展。

In order to achieve rural revitalization,it is desirable to promote the construction of intelligent agriculture and improve the agricultural production efficiency.Based on the data of the Chinese Family Panel Studies(CFPS)in 2010,2014,2016 and 2018,this paper empirically analyzes the impact of Internet application on agricultural production efficiency and explores its mechanism.The research results show that Internet application can significantly promote the agricultural production efficiency,which still holds after a series of endogeneity and robustness tests.Mechanism analysis shows that farmers’use of the Internet can accelerate the applications of emerging agricultural technologies,optimize allocation of land resources and strengthen social network relations,thereby enhancing agricultural production efficiency.The heterogeneity analysis finds that this promotion effect is more significant in rural areas,contiguous extremely poverty-stricken areas and the areas in the west of Heihe-Tengchong Line.Finally,the further discussions demonstrate that the improved agricultural productivity brought by the application of the Internet can help strengthen poverty alleviation outcomes,increase the household income,upgrade farmers’consumption demands and boost their happiness,thus accelerating the development of rural revitalization.
