Research on impact of industrial agglomeration on scale of dairy farming in China——On regulatory effect of environmental regulations
The large-scale breeding of cows is a necessary path for the sustainable development of modern animal husbandry and plays an important role in promoting the development of Chinese agricultural economy.This article uses panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2013 to 2022 to empirically test the impact of industrial agglomeration on the scale of dairy farming using benchmark regression models and moderation effect models.The results showed that industrial agglomeration can effectively promote the scale of dairy farming,and this conclusion still holds true after a series of robustness tests.The results of the regulatory mechanism showed that strengthening environmental regulations helped to enhance the driving effect of industrial agglomeration on the scale of dairy farming.The heterogeneity test results showed that the positive promotion effect of industrial agglomeration on the scale of dairy farming was more significant in provinces with higher urbanization rates.
