Does the Construction of Modern Agricultural Parks Promote Rural Industrial Integration?Empirical Evidence from 8325 Agricultural Parks across China
Rural industrial integration is a critical strategy for the establishment of modem agricultural industry system,the transformation of the mode of agricultural development,and the advancement of China's agriculture and rural modemization.From the perspective of modem agricultural parks,the study identifies a novel path of rural industrial integration.Using the difference-in-difference method and data of 8325 modern agricultural parks in China,this study empirically evaluated the impact of the construction of modern agricultural parks on rural industrial integration in China.The results show that the construction of modem agricultural parks significantly promotes the integration of rural industries.Further heterogeneity analyses reveal that there is a hierarchical heterogeneity in the policy effect of modern agricultural park construction.The construction of national modem agricultural parks has greater impacts on rural industrial integration than that of provincial parks,while the construction of municipal-level parks has no discernible effect Additionally,our results indicate that the construction of modem agricultural industrial parks and modem agricultural demonstration zones significantly facilitate the integration of rural industries.Moreover,the mechanism analysis shows that the construction of modem agricultural parks exerts its influence through the industrial agglomeration effect and the technology demonstration effect.Our findings have important policy implications for leveraging the role of modem agricultural park construction in promoting rural industrial integration in a context-specific manner.
