The effect of information technology on agricultural output:An analysis based on data from facility agriculture in Beijing
Agriculture is in the critical period of modernization transformation in our country,and information technology has become the leading force spearheading the high-quality development of agricultural industry.Through studying the impact of information technology on agricultural output,this paper will clarify the practical application effect of information technology on agriculture.Based on the survey data of agricultural information technology application of township facility agriculture in Beijing in 2022,this paper analyzed the impact of information technology application on township agricultural output by using OLS,QR and 2SLS methods.On the whole,there's a significant positive correlation between information technology application and agricultural output.The average information technology application per hectare increased by 1%,and the average facility agriculture output per hectare of township increased by 3.56%.However,the yield increasing effect of information technology application was only significant in high agricultural output townships,the elastic coefficient was 5.03%,but not significant in low agricultural output townships.And there were endowment differences in promoting agricultural output through information technology application in townships.Compared to townships with less labor force or material capital input,the yield increasing effect of information technology application in townships with more labor force or material capital input was more obvious.The elastic coefficients were 4.91%and 4.53%respectively.
