Study on the Impact and Mechanism of Digital Economy on Agricultural Low-carbon Development
Developing low-carbon agriculture plays an important role against the background of the"dual car-bon"goal.Based on the panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020,the paper used entropy weight method to measure the level of digital economy and agricultural low-carbon development at provincial level,con-structed base regression model and intermediate effect model to evaluate the effect and explore mechanisms that dig-ital economy affect the low-carbon development of agriculture.The result shows that digital economy can signifi-cantly promote low-carbon development of agriculture,a conclusion that holds true after considering robustness and endogeneity.The mechanism test found that digital economy can promote low-carbon development of agricul-ture by increasing the level of human capital investment,while the mediating effect of technological innovation is not significant.Therefore,this paper proposed to accelerate the deep integration of digital economy and agricultural industry,increase the awareness of farmers'low-carbon agricultural production and consumption,increase invest-ment in rural human capital,promote low-carbon development of agriculture.
