Factors Influencing the Coupling of the Development of Rural Urbanization and Rural Finance: Evidence from Rural China

Jiali Zhou, Xiangbo Fan, Chenggang Li, Guofei Shang · 2022 · Land

Summary. This study analyzes how rural urbanization and rural finance develop together in China using data from 31 provinces between 2010 and 2019. The research finds that coupling between these two areas remains low across most regions, indicating uncoordinated development. Urban population density reduces coupling effectiveness, while per capita GDP, fiscal spending, and built-up area strengthen it. Financial development's impact varies by region: in less-developed areas it boosts coordination, but in more-developed areas it weakens it.
