Qing Yang1, Xiaohan Ma1, Liping Jiang2 · 2025 · Academic Journal of Business & Management

Summary. Industrial integration at the county level significantly drives rural innovation in China, according to analysis of 1,837 counties from 2014 to 2021. The mechanism works primarily through increased labor mobility between sectors. The effect is strongest in eastern and central regions but absent in western regions. These findings support county-level industrial integration as a strategy for rural revitalization.
