Abstract

Based on panel data from the National rural fixed point survey from 2011 to 2018 and the Peking University digital financial inclusion (DFI) index data, this article uses the dynamic panel fixed effect model to analyze the effect of access to digital inclusive financing platforms on agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) and its contributing factors at the household level. The results show that DFI have a significant hysteresis positive impact on agricultural TFP and its two components, agricultural technical progress and agricultural technical efficiency change. And the usage depth of financial services has the greatest effect in three dimensions of DFI index.
