Abstract

Based on China’s provincial panel data from 2011–2019, this paper constructs an indicator system of the digital economy and measures the digital economy and agricultural green total factor productivity using the entropy value method and the SBM super-efficiency model with non-expected output, to explore the impact and mechanism of action of the digital economy on agricultural green total factor productivity. The results show that: (1) the digital economy significantly contributes to the increase of agricultural green total factor productivity and has a significant boosting effect on the three regions of East, Central, and West as well as the two regions of North and South. In addition, the results remained reliable after endogeneity treatment and robustness testing. (2) marketization plays a mediating role in the digital economy’s promotion of green total factor productivity in agriculture. (3) the threshold effect test finds that there is a threshold effect on the impact of the digital economy on green total factor productivity in agriculture, and the impact of the digital economy on green total factor productivity in agriculture is significantly positive when the digital economy is above the threshold value of 0.018.
