Promoting Revitalization Through Integration:Research on the Impact of County Urban-Rural Industrial Integration on Common Prosperity
Promoting the urban-rural industrial integration at the county level is an important means to achieve Chinese-style modernization.Based on the data of 1672 counties in China from 2006 to 2021,we construct a theoretical analysis framework of the influence of urban-rural industrial integration on common prosperity and empirically test the influence of urban-rural industrial integration on common prosperity,its channels of action,and spatial spillover effects using the threshold model and spatial Durbin model.It is found that the impact of county urban-rural industrial integration on common prosper-ity has a positive U-shaped nonlinear characteristic,and this conclusion still holds after a series of robust-ness tests.Mechanism analyses show that the county urban-rural industrial integration can promote com-mon prosperity through alleviating financing constraints and fostering introduction of enterprises,but this is only effective when county urban-rural industrial integration develops to a certain degree.In addition,the impact of county urban-rural industrial integration on common prosperity shows significant heteroge-neity at both the regional and urban-rural industrial integration type levels.Further research finds a signifi-cant positive spatial spillover effect of county urban-rural industrial integration on common prosperity,and counties need to adopt appropriate urban-rural industrial integration models.Therefore,it is necessary to accelerate the county urban-rural industrial integration,optimize the financial support policies,strengthen the introduction and cultivation of enterprises,optimize the spatial distribution of urban and ru-ral industries,and explore differentiated modes of urban and rural industrial integration.
