The impact of agricultural digital economy on the sus-tainable development of China's agricultural exports
The deep integration of digital economy and international trade has become an important driving force to promote high-quality economic development.Based on the theoretical analysis of the impact mechanism of the development of agricultural digital economy on the sustainable development of agricultural exports,this paper empirically tested the impact effect and mechanism of the development of agricultural digital economy on the sustainable development of agricultural exports based on the data of China's agricultural exports from 2011 to 2016.The findings are as follows:Firstly,the development of agricultural digital economy significantly improves the level of sustainable development of agricultural exports,which remains stable after a series of robustness tests such as endogeneity;Secondly,heterogeneity analysis shows that the development of agricultural digital economy has a greater role in promoting the sustainable development level of quality frontier enterprises,primary agricul-tural products and exports to developed countries.Finally,the impact mechanism of the development of agricul-tural digital economy on the sustainable development of agricultural exports is manifested as internal drive and external incentives.The internal drive comes from the effect of technological innovation and cost-saving,while the external incentives come from the effects of demand expansion and market competition.
