Research On Rural Finance、Agricultural Science And Technology Progress And Urban Rural Economic Integration Development

The integration of urban and rural economy was an important support to achieve the comprehensive integration of urban and rural development,and a strong support to help the high-quality economic development.Based on the statistical data of 30 provinces in China from2001 to 2018,this paper constructs a one-step system of GMM,mediation effect model and panel threshold effect model,and analyzed the relationship among rural financial development,agricultural science and technology progress and urban-rural economic integration.The results showed that:(1)As far as the whole country was concerned,the growth of urban-rural economic integration level and rural financial development level was relatively slow,with an average annual growth rate of 5.46% and 3.81% respectively;From a regional perspective,in the same period of urban-rural economic integration index,the eastern region was the largest,followed the central region,minimum in western region;while the rural financial development index was the highest in the eastern region,the second in the western region,and the central region was the last.In 2018,the contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress reached 58.3%,agricultural machinery science and technology stepped to a new level,agricultural biochemistry science and technology made new breakthroughs,the scale of agricultural science and technology talents continued to grow,and the expenditure structure of agricultural science and technology continued to optimize.(2)On the whole,rural financial development was conducive to improving the level of urban-rural economic integration,but there were significant regional differences in the role of promoting,the eastern region played a more significant role by comparison with the central and western regions.(3)Agricultural science and technology progress played a mediating role between rural financial development and urban-rural economic integration,the size of the mediating effect was 15.96%,and its promoting effect on urban-rural economic integration was affected by the single threshold effect of rural financial development.When the rural financial development index was less than 0.65,its promoting effect was small,and the positive effect was enhanced after crossing the threshold value.Based on the empirical analysis,the following four countermeasures were proposed: First,to deepen the rural financial reform as an opportunity to help agriculture strong,rural beauty and farmers rich;Second,relying on increasing investment in agricultural science and technology,we should accelerate the integration of agriculture and science and technology;Third,we should promote the transformation and popularization of agricultural scientific research achievements to improve the level of agricultural productivity;Fourth,to strengthen the system construction as the support,improve the urban and rural economic integration development security system.
