The Impact of Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy Policy on Agricultural Total Factor Productivity of Xizang
With the continuous advancement of agricultural modernization,the Chinese government has placed great emphasis on the agricul-tural machinery purchase subsidy policy,aiming to enhance agricultural productivity by increasing the level of mechanization.Based on data from Xizang during 2009-2021,utilizes the DEA-Malmquist index method to measure agricultural total factor productivity(TFP)of Xizang and employs the Tobit model to assess the impact of the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy on TFP.The results showed that:The agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy significantly increased Xizang's agricultural TFP,with technological progress being the primary driving force behind the continuous growth of TFP;the greater the number of employees in agriculture,forestry,animal husbandry,and fisher-y,the lower the agricultural TFP in Xizang.As the proportion of Xizang's agricultural economy increases,agricultural TFP also improves.These findings not only confirm the effectiveness of the subsidy policy in enhancing agricultural productivity but also provide scientific evidence for further optimization and improvement of relevant policies.
