The New-Quality Agricultural Productivity in China:Measurement,Spatiotemporal Differentiation and Convergence
Comprehensive measurement is the foundation for understanding the new-quality agricultural pro-ductivity.Based on the index system constructed from the three dimensions of laborers,means of labor,and labor ob-jects,the new-quality agricultural productivity in China from 2011 to 2021 is measured by the entropy method.Da-gum Gini coefficient method,Kernel density estimation,exploratory spatial analysis,and spatiotemporal conver-gence model are used to reveal the overall development,regional differences,spatiotemporal distribution and evolu-tion,and convergence of the new-quality agricultural productivity in China.Results show that:The new-quality ag-ricultural productivity in China is at low levels,with slow improvement,and the new-quality agricultural labor ob-jects are the weakness;the development of the new-quality agricultural productivity in China is regionally uneven,with significant differences in the east,middle,and west,both sides of the Hu-Huanyong Line,and different func-tional agricultural regions;the inter-provincial new-quality agricultural productivity in China has significant charac-teristics of gradient development and polarization;the new-quality agricultural productivity in China has spatial ag-glomeration effects,mainly manifested as high-high agglomeration and low-high agglomeration,with σ convergence and conditional β convergence characteristics.We should take technological and institutional innovation as support,accelerate the development of the new-quality agricultural labor objects,make up for the shortcomings in the new-quality agricultural productivity,explore new mechanisms for resources sharing and agricultural policy coordination between regions,with a view to accelerating the leap of the new-quality agricultural productivity.
