互联网使用对农地转出决策的影响及机制研究——来自CFPS的微观证据

本文利用中国家庭追踪调查数据(CFPS),从家庭层面分析了互联网的使用行为是否会对其农地转出产生影响。研究结果表明,使用互联网会使家庭农地转出的概率显著提高。使用工具变量解决内生性问题,并从农地有偿转出、农地新转出和不同上网方式对农地转出影响三个方面进行稳健性检验后,仍然得到了一致的结论。农户异质性分析表明,户主中高受教育水平和收入处于中高水平的家庭使用互联网对其农地转出的正向影响更为显著。影响机制分析表明,互联网使用主要通过促进非农就业及其稳定性、拓宽信息渠道、增强社会互动三条路径影响农地转出。

The Impact of Internet Use on the Decision-making of Farmland Transfer and its Mechanism:Evidence from the CFPS Data

This article uses the Chinese Family Panel Studies(CFPS)data to analyze whether the use of the Internet will affect farmland transfer at the household level.The results show that using the Internet can significantly increase the probability of family farmland transfer.After using instrumental variables to solve the endogenous problems,and after robustness tests from three aspects of paid farmland transfer,new transfer of farmland,and the impact of different Internet access methods on farmland transfer,the study still obtains a consistent conclusion.Heterogeneity analysis shows that the use of the Internet by households with middle and high education levels and middle and high income levels has a more significant positive impact on the transfer of farmland.The mechanism analysis shows that the use of the Internet affects the transfer of farmland mainly through three paths:promoting non-agricultural employment and its stability,expanding information channels,and enhancing social interaction.
