Can Digital Finance Improve China’s Agricultural Green Total Factor Productivity?

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(7), P. 1429 - 1429

Published: July 19, 2023

The improvement of agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP) is crucial to achieve sustainable development. By matching China’s provincial digital financial inclusion index and production data from 2011 2020, on the basis using DEA–Malmquist measure AGTFP, fixed effect model Mesomeric are used empirically test impact mechanism development AGTFP. Our research found that China experienced consistent in which was largely attributed advancements technology. Interestingly, AGTFP non-major grain-producing areas surpassed major grain producing areas. Additionally, finance has proven be an effective tool boosting coverage subdimension, depth use subdimension digitization all significantly promote Digital can efficiency progress technology, shows promotes a “dual wheel” driven manner. However, technology more pronounced than demonstrates potential stimulate two key ways. First, it improve mismatch resources; second, innovation. Therefore, necessary further rapid finance, optimize rational allocation resources, formulate tailored strategies agriculture.

Can the marketization of urban land transfer improve energy efficiency?

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 329, P. 117126 - 117126

Published: Dec. 23, 2022

Local government intervention in land resource allocation can lead to the misallocation of resources and serious pollutant emissions. As an important market-oriented economic reform China, marketization urban transfer (MULT) might have potential contribute improving efficiency by curbing local intervention. Therefore, this study aims provide empirical evidence on impact MULT energy efficiency. We improve evaluation method test mechanism through which affects The results show that, first, proportion sold listing methods, is characterized a low degree marketization, has rapidly increased recent years, lowering overall level MULT. Second, direct significant positive Third, analysis indicates that helps enhance advancing industrial structure optimization technological progress. Moreover, heterogeneity demonstrates differs significantly different stages between central peripheral cities. This sheds light importance thus practical policy implications for promoting low-carbon transition emerging countries.
