Research on the Influence Mechanism and Spatial Differentiation of Factor Flow on Urban-rural Integrated Development
The two-way free flow of urban and rural elements is conducive to improving the efficiency of factor allocation and optimizing the relationship and promoting the integrated development between urban and rural areas.The existing research on the impact of factor flow on urban-rural integration development mainly focuses on the development of urban-rural integration by traditional factors of production,and few literatures view data as a new factor of production in the scope of urban-rural factor flow and explore its impact mechanism on urban-rural integration development.Based on the panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2010 to 2021,on the basis of measuring the factor flow and the level of urban-rural integration development,a two-way fixed-effect model,a Geographically Weighted Regression model and an intermediary effect model are constructed to empirically test the impact and mechanism of factor flow on urban-rural integrated development.It concludes that:First,the total index of national factor flow shows a slight growth trend,64%of the areas above the mean are urban-rural integration development pilot areas,indicating that the implementation of urban-rural integration development policies has an important guiding role.Second,the factor flow significantly promotes the integrated development of urban and rural areas,and it is still valid after introducing the distance between urban and rural areas as an instrumental variable for the endogeneity test,and using the method of deleting four municipalities and shortening the time window to carry out the robustness test.Third,on the analysis of spatial heterogeneity,labor,land and data elements always play roles in promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas.And the influence of land elements on urban-rural integration development in different regions has gradually increased,and the scope of influence has gradually expanded,and the promotion of urban-rural integration development by technical factors has gradually become prominent,shifting from East and South areas to Northeast and Southwest areas.Fourth,in the process of factor flow affecting urban-rural integration development,e-commerce sales is an important way for factor flow to affect urban-rural integration development,and agricultural mechanization and industrial structure change do not play the role of mediating variables,which is different from the existing research results.Therefore,in the future,we will continue to deepen the connotation and extension,depth and breadth of urban-rural integration development.Always guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,apply a scientific world outlook and methodology,adhere to the guiding principle of unifying overall promotion and pilot demonstration,and promote typical experiences formed in practice.The conclusions provide a theoretical and empirical reference for the mechanism establishment of two-way rational flow of urban and rural elements and the improvement of the institutional mechanism of urban-rural integrated de-velopment.
