Coordinated Development of Rural Digital Inclusive Finance and Agricultural Product Circulation in Yangtze River Delta Region
Based on the panel data of three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2012 to 2022,this paper analyzes the comprehensive development level of three provinces and one city by constructing an index evaluation system and calculating the weight of each index with the entropy method.The coordinated development level between rural digital inclusive finance and agricultural products circulation and the differences in the degree of coupled coordination between regions were ana-lyzed by the coupled coordination model,and the correlation degree between rural digital inclusive fi-nance and agricultural products circulation was analyzed by the grey correlation model.The results show that there is always a high level of coupling between rural digital inclusive finance and agricultural product circulation,and the coordination level between the two systems increases steadily year by year,but there are differences between regions,among which Anhui province has the highest degree of coupling coordination.The correlation between the rural digital inclusive finance and the cir-culation of agricultural products in the Yangtze River Delta region is high.In terms of sub-indicators,the correlation between the number of mobile phone users and the circulation of agricultural products is the highest,and the correlation between the turnover of goods and the rural digital inclusive finance is the highest.Therefore,from the perspective of inclusive finance and agricultural products logistics,this paper puts forward suggestions on the coordinated development of rural digital inclusive finance and agricultural products circulation in the Yangtze River Delta region.
