Income Effect Of Farmers' Information Acquisition Attitude And Its Influencing Factors

With the development of research on poverty,we find that external factors cannot fully explain the causes of poverty.Combined with the current social background of precise poverty alleviation,this paper believes that farmers' willingness to increase income has a significant impact on their income.Since the willingness to increase income belongs to unobservable variables,we chose to use information acquisition attitude as an agent variable to carry out research.Rural informatization is an important means to solve the problem of poverty.With the continuous development of informatization,the ability to acquire information is increasingly important in the life.The access to information is mainly influenced by both the acquisition channel and the attitude of acquisition.Today,as information channels continue to be homogenized,it is more important to study the influence of information acquisition attitudes.First,this article uses the data of CFPS2010 to measure the attitude of information acquisition from both TV and network.Under the same information channel,the attitude of using this channel is the key variable.In terms of television channels,the OLS regression was performed on the impact of television information acquisition attitudes on farmers' income.Taking into account its endogenous nature,instrumental variables were used to resolve endogenous problems in the robustness test phase.In the aspect of network channels,the OLS regression is performed on the impact of the attitude of network information acquisition on the income of farmers,and the measurement error in the robustness test may be relatively large.The results show that under the same access to information,positive attitudes to information acquisition can significantly increase the income of individual households.With the continuous development and popularization of rural Internet,whether rural households actively use Internet search tools to actively search for information will also significantly affect the income of rural households,especially young rural households.Based on the above analysis,we adopt the quantile regression of farmers' income on the attitude of information acquisition.We study the influence of the attitude of information acquisition on the income level of different incomes,and then analyze the income structure of farmers by analyzing their income structure to extract their influence.The regression results show that the marginal effect of the information acquisition attitude on the income of farmers varies with the income quintile.It is the largest in the low quintile,as the quantile increases,the marginal impact continues to decrease,and the effect is no longer significant when the quintile is reached.From the perspective of income structure and source,we can find that the attitude of information acquisition is to increase income through labor income(wage income and operating income),and having a positive attitude,to information can help people improve work efficiency or update agriculture.Finally,we combine the relevant theories of behavioral economics with independent surveys,and use the combination of theoretical and practical data to analyze the factors that affect the willingness to increase income.The analysis finds that the willingness to increase income is influenced by self-control,status preferences,and "awareness of lack of competence," "substantial state of mind," "self-defeating or failure experiences,"and "lack of role model."...
