Abstract

The effect of digital financial inclusion on farmers’ income growth is worth theoretical discussion and empirical testing. Based on the sample data of 30 provinces in the Chinese mainland from 2011 to 2019, this paper adopted the spatial Durbin model and the panel threshold model to empirically study the impact of digital financial inclusion on the growth of farmers’ income; furthermore, the heterogeneity of the impact was studied in terms of the difference of provincial economic development level. The results showed that: first, digital financial inclusion can significantly promote farmers’ income growth; second, digital financial inclusion has a positive spatial spillover effect on farmers’ income growth; third, the impact of digital financial inclusion on farmers’ income growth has a double threshold effect: farmers’ income growth increases with the development of digital financial inclusion; and fourth, the impact of digital financial inclusion on farmers’ income growth is heterogeneous in terms of provincial economic development level.

The claim omits that agricultural and rural scope and describes revenues generally, which the paper does not establish. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
