Unveiling the digital revolution: Catalyzing total factor productivity in agriculture.

ABSTRACT: Drawing upon panel data spanning the years 2011 to 2022 and encompassing 30 provinces across China, this research employs empirical methodologies, specifically the difference GMM and system GMM methods, to scrutinize the impact of the digital economy on the total factor productivity (TFP) within the agricultural sector. The study reveals a significant augmentation of China's agricultural TFP attributable to the digital economy, a finding robust to various methodological examinations. Notably, the influential role of the digital economy on agricultural TFP is more conspicuous in the central and western regions, as well as in locales characterized by lower productivity levels. Mechanistic analysis underscores that the digital economy exerts a positive influence on agricultural TFP through th
