Impacts of the Integrated Development of Agriculture and Tourism on Common Prosperity:Spatial Spillovers and Threshold Effects
As an effective way to transform the model of rural economic development and upgrade the industrial structure in the new era,the integration of agriculture and tourism can provide powerful support for expanding farmers'income sources and narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas.It is also an important path for promoting the rural economy and common prosperity of people.Based on 2008-2019 panel data covering 30 provinces and regions in China,the dynamic spatial Durbin model and threshold effect model are used to empiri-cally analyse the effects and characteristics of the integrated development of agriculture and tourism on common prosperity.The results show the following:(1)The level of common prosperity and the integration of agriculture and tourism increased steadily during the study period and showed obvious spatial agglomeration characteristics.(2)The level of common prosperity was affected by the previous state,showing strong path dependence and dynamic persistence.(3)The integrated development of agriculture and tourism had a significant direct effect and spillover effect on the level of common prosperity.The integrated development of agriculture and tourism in neighbouring areas also promoted an improvement in the common prosperity of the local region.The direct effect was the strongest in the central region,and the spillover effect was the largest in the eastern region.(4)The influence of the integration of agriculture and tourism on the level of common prosperity presented certain threshold characteristics,and there was a typical stage and economic environment dependence.Overall,with the improvement in the inte-gration of agriculture and tourism and the economic development level,the impact of the integration of agriculture and tourism on common prosperity was enhanced,but this disequilibrium effect also had typical regional hetero-geneity.The conclusions can provide useful implications for promoting the high-quality development of the integra-tion of agriculture and tourism to better promote common prosperity.
