The influence mechanism of forestry industry development in mountainous areas on urban-rural income gap:Based on the perspective of the mediating effect of employment and income
In the new development stage of solidly promoting common prosperity,it is of great significance to jointly promote the development of the mountainous forestry industry and narrow the urban-rural income gap for high-quality forestry development and the construction of common prosperity demonstration areas.Based on the panel data of 26 counties in mountainous areas of Zhejiang province from 2001 to 2021,this paper reveals the impact of forestry industry development on the urban-rural income gap and its mechanism from two aspects of forestry industry scale and forestry industry structure using panel fixed effect,panel threshold,and intermediary effect model.The results show that:(1)The impact of forestry industry development on the urban-rural income gap is negative,and there are differences in the impact of different levels of economic development.When the level of economic development is higher than 5.953,the impact of forestry industry development on the urban-rural income gap is reduced.(2)The scale of the forestry industry in mountainous areas hurts the urban-rural income gap through employment and income,and the rationalization of the forestry industry structure in mountainous areas narrows the urban-rural income gap through income effect.(3)Compared with leapfrog development counties,the development of the forestry industry has a greater negative impact on the income gap between urban and rural areas in ecological development counties.Compared with urban residents,the effect of increasing rural residents'income is more obvious.The forestry industry development helps narrow the income gap between urban and rural areas.It is necessary to strictly protect the resource base for forestry industry development in mountainous areas,guide the high-quality development of the forestry industry through scientific and technological innovation,optimize the structure to promote the iterative upgrading of the forestry industry,and increase the income of rural residents through local employment.This study can provide reference for exploring the practical path of high-quality forestry industry development to promote common prosperity in mountainous areas across the country.
