Theoretical mechanisms and empirical tests of digital technology enabling farm households to increase income:Based on CRRS 2022 farm household survey data
The paper constructs a theoretical framework for grain farmers to increase their incomes in terms of both grain yields and agricultural production efficiency.We empirically test the income-generating effects of digital technology adoption with the CRRS 2022 survey data.The results showed that digital technology significantly contributed to the increase in income of grain farmers.Mechanism of action analyses indicate that digital technology improves agricultural productivity and food yields by increasing the efficiency of agricultural machinery operations,the level of agricultural machinery operations.Heterogeneity analysis shows that the adoption of digital technology has a more pronounced effect on increasing the income of grain farmers who hold positions in the village,operate on a larger scale.It should strengthen the foundation,foster a high-quality farmer workforce,so as to increase the income of grain farmers.
