| Agricultural new-quality productivity is a key driver of unleashing the potential for agricultural and rural development and increasing farmers' incomes. Using panel data from 30 provinces (excluding Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) in China from 2014 to 2023, this study uses the system generalized method of moments estimation and a fixed-effects model to analyze the effects of agricultural new-quality productivity on farmers' incomes and regional heterogeneity. The results show that agricultural new-quality productivity significantly promotes farmers' incomes. Furthermore, this effect exhibits regional heterogeneity, with a decreasing gradient across eastern, central, and western regions. Consequently, it is crucial to develop an agricultural new-quality productivity development system tailored to regional endowments,optimize regional spatial layout, and establish and improve regional coordination and technology diffusion mechanisms to continuously stimulate new drivers of farmers' income growth. |
