Bridging the divide: how agricultural technological innovation narrows the urban–rural income gap in China by Ruofan Liao, Yuheng Wei, Yu Bai, Jianxu Liu

“…This study investigates the comprehensive impact mechanism of agricultural technological innovation on urban-rural income disparities through a multi-dimensional analytical framework integrating productivity enhancement, structural transformation, and spatial heterogeneity effects.MethodsUsing panel data from 280 Chinese cities during 2008 - 2021, we employ two-way fixed effects panel regression models to examine the relationship between agricultural technological innovation (measured by patent applications) and urban–rural income gaps (measured by the Theil index). The analysis includes robustness tests, heterogeneity analysis across regions and institutional contexts, mechanism testing through mediation analysis, and threshold effect analysis using Hansen’s threshold regression technique.ResultsThe integrated analysis reveals that agricultural technological innovation serves as a fundamental driver for narrowing urban-rural income gaps through interconnected pathways of employment structure optimization, factor allocation improvement, and production efficiency enhancement. …”
