Can Rural Ddigital Economy Promote the Green Development of Agriculture?
Based on China's provincial panel data from2012 to2021,this paper uses entropy method to measure the rural digital economy and agri-cultural green development level.Based on this,this paper empirically analyzes the impact of rural digital economy on agricultural green development level and its mechanism.The findings are as follows:The rural digital economy significantly promoted the improvement of the level of agricultural green development,and the conclusion is still valid after a series of robustness tests.Mechanism analysis shows that agricultural credit plays an inter-mediary role in rural digital economy and agricultural green development,that is,rural digital economy can indirectly promote agricultural green de-velopment by improving the level of agricultural credit.Heterogeneity analysis found that the impact of rural digital economy on the agricultural green development level of major grain-producing areas and non-major grain-producing areas as well as the eastern,central and western regions was different.Threshold test shows that the rural digital economy has a non-linear impact on the level of agricultural green development.Only when the development level of rural digital economy crosses the threshold value,the promotion effect of rural digital economy on the level of agricultural green development can be highlighted.
