英文摘要
New agricultural operating entities (NAOEs) are essential agricultural players. With the development of the digital economy in the agricultural sector, both opportunities and challenges may arise for the NAOEs. This study examines the effects of the digital economy on the performance of NAOEs by using a comprehensive dataset containing information on nearly the entire population of family farms, farmer cooperatives and agricultural companies from 2013 to 2020 in China. The mechanisms and inclusiveness of these effects have also been explored. Our results find that the digital economy positively impacts NAOEs’ performance in terms of sales revenue and profit. These effects are realised by improving agricultural inputs and market transaction conditions. The effects are more profound for farmer cooperatives, agricultural companies and NAOEs with lower profitability and larger organisation size. The magnitude of the effects is larger for NAOEs located in regions with better topographic, economic conditions and higher digital economy levels. In addition, the synergy between traditional and digital infrastructures can enhance these effects. The conclusion provides insights and guidance for encouraging the high-quality and inclusive development of NAOEs in the digital age.
文章概要
中国共产党的十九大、二十大报告陆续提出“培育新型农业经营主体”和“发展新型农业经营主体和社会化服务，发展农业适度规模经营”。为此，本文使用2013至2020年的各类新型农业经营主体年报数据详细考察了数字经济发展对新型农业经营主体绩效的影响。结果表明，数字经济能够通过增强农业技术创新、提高金融可得性以及改善市场交易环境，促进新型农业经营主体在销售收入和利润方面的绩效提升。同时，数字基础设施（“宽带中国”）与传统基础设施（“通高铁”）的协同效应能够进一步增强数字经济对新型农业经营主体绩效的影响。然而，异质性分析表明，数字经济作用效果的包容性仍存在一定的挑战。例如，数字经济的作用效果在规模较大的新型农业经营主体中更强，但其对家庭农场或规模较小的新型农业经营主体，以及地形、经济条件和数字经济发展水平较低地区的新型农业经营主体仍作用有限。
