By manually sorting out the 2019-2020 agricultural entrepreneurship data,county statistical yearbook data and family tree data of 397 counties in eastern China,this study empirically analyzes the impact of digital governance on agricultural entrepreneurship using fixed-effect model,threshold model and moderation effect model.It is found that digital governance significantly improves the generation of agricultural entrepreneurial activities at county level.However,this effect is only effective when the level of digital governance exceeds a certain threshold.The moderation effect analysis finds that clan network plays a positive moderation role in promoting agricultural entrepreneurship by digital governance,but the positive moderation role is mainly effective for traditional planting agricultural entrepreneurship,and the effect is stronger when the clan network is close.Mechanism analysis finds that digital governance lowers the barriers to entry for entrepreneurial activities,enabling a greater number of micro and small enterprises to engage in entrepreneurship.Consequently,this leads to an improvement in the level of agricultural entrepreneurship.Therefore,the government should increase the application of digital technology in grass-roots governance,pay attention to the role of traditional clan networks.This will facilitate the empowerment of digital technologies in rural grassroots governance and enhance the vitality of agricultural entrepreneurship.
