Research on the Impact of National Agricultural High-tech Industrial Demonstration Zones on Regional Agricultural Economic Growth
National agricultural high-tech industrial demonstration zone(hereafter refers to National agricultural high-tech zone)is a kind of industrial demonstration zone created around agricultural high-tech industry by drawing on the development mode of high-tech zone,which is the advanced form of agricultural science and technology zone,and plays an important role in solving the common problems of regional agriculture and promoting the upgrading of the development mode of agricultural industry.This paper evaluates the policy effect of the establishment of the National agricultural high-tech zone on regional agricultural economic growth by constructing a multi-period DID model.The results show that:①The establishment of the National agricultural high-tech zone promotes regional agricultural eco-nomic growth by about 10%,which still holds after a series of robustness tests.The policy effect is persistent and tends to strengthen over time.②The establishment of National agricultural high-tech zone have an impact on regional agricultural economic growth through agricultural science and technology innovation.③National agricultural high-tech zone in central and western regions,provincial capitals,as well as counties with low agricultural output and high fer-tilizer application intensity have stronger policy effects on agricultural economic growth.The findings of this paper pro-vide policy insights for accelerating the construction of the National agricultural high-tech zone and promoting high-quality agricultural development.
