Digital rural construction and agricultural green total factor productivity: the role of land finance, land resource misallocation, and agricultural technology innovation
Summary. Digital rural construction in China significantly improves agricultural green total factor productivity through three mechanisms: better access to land finance, reduced misallocation of land resources, and increased agricultural technology adoption. The benefits are strongest in central and western regions, non-grain-producing areas, and regions with lower land transfer efficiency. The study analyzes 2,128 counties over a decade using rigorous econometric methods.
