数字乡村发展与农户增收——基于增长和分配双重视角的审视

Effect of Digital Villages on Increasing Rural Household Income——From the Double Perspectives of Growth and Distribution

论文将北京大学县域数字乡村指数和2018年全国农村固定观察点农户调查数据进行匹配,从收入增长和收入分配两个维度,实证考察数字乡村发展对农户收入的影响效应。结果发现:数字乡村能够显著提升农户收入,这一结论经过内生性处理和稳健性检验后依然成立;从不同维度看,乡村生活数字化的增收效应最大,其次是乡村数字基础设施和乡村治理数字化,而乡村经济数字化的影响不显著;基于收入来源视角发现,数字乡村主要通过直接提高农业经营收入和自营工商业收入来促进农户增收;数字乡村对农户增收未实现包容性增长,对中、高收入水平农户的增收效应更显著,并会扩大农户收入差距。

This paper matches the Peking University County Digital Villages Index with the year of 2008 National Rural Fixed Observation Point Rural Household Survey data to empirically examine the effect of digital villages development on rural household income from the dimensions of income growth and distribution.The results found that:the digital villages can significantly increase rural household income and this conclusion still holds after endogeneity treatment and robustness test;from different dimensions,the digitalization of rural life has the largest income-increasing effect,followed by the digital infrastructure of the villages and the digitalization of rural governance,whereas the effect of the digitalization of the rural economy is insignificant;based on the perspective of the source of income,it is found that the digital vllages mainly promotes rural household income by directly increasing the income from agricultural income and self-employed business income;digital villages do not achieve inclusive growth in rural household income growth,have more significant income-generating effect on middle and higher income rural households which widen the income gap between rural households.
