Hanjin Li, Yang Shi, Jianxin Zhang, Zhenkun Zhang, Zhaosen Zhang, Maogang Gong · 2023 · PLoS ONE

Summary. Digital inclusive finance significantly improves agricultural development in rural China, with the strongest effects in the Eastern region. The relationship is nonlinear, with two critical thresholds: below 4.77, digital finance has minimal impact; above 5.32, its positive effects strengthen substantially. Regional differences exist across China's three regions. The study recommends expanding digital finance in Central and Western regions to balance development and reduce financial exclusion in agriculture.
