The Influence Of Rural Infrastructure Construction On Rural Economic Growth In China

With the proposal of the national rural revitalization strategy and the advance of characteristic new industrialization,informatization,urbanization and agricultural modernization,the development of rural economy in China has also entered a new period,facing new opportunities and challenges.Rural infrastructure construction concerns all aspects of agricultural production and rural life,and plays an important role in promoting the improvement of agricultural production conditions,the improvement of rural living standards,and the stability of rural grass-roots society.Under the condition of new times,build a well-off society in an all-round way and fully realize the key period to reduce poverty,to strengthen the rural infrastructure construction in rural areas it is particularly important to research on the effects of economic growth,especially the key to distinguish the traditional types of infrastructure and new infrastructure impact of different sizes,clear rural infrastructure investment,investment,and investment direction,provided lasting impetus to the development of rural economy.Based on the needs of the research,this paper makes a specific subdivision of China's rural infrastructure,and through the specific description of the construction results of various rural infrastructure,and then analyzes its impact on rural economic growth.At the same time,according to the economic growth theory,this paper sums up the rural infrastructure in the two aspects of factor inputs and factor productivity impact on economic growth mechanism,on this basis,through the selection of various kinds of proxy indicator of rural infrastructure and rural economy,to build the rural infrastructure construction influence on rural economic growth of the econometric model,and has carried on the empirical test and regression analysis to model.Following the above research ideas,based on panel data of 30 provinces(autonomous regions or municipalities directly under the central government)from 2003 to 2016,this paper conducts qualitative and quantitative analysis on the impact of rural infrastructure construction on rural economic growth in China: First of all,the overall condition of rural infrastructure construction in China is analyzed,and after the refinement by selected proxy index of seven major infrastructure,from 2003 to 2016 of China's rural infrastructure as irrigation and water conservancy,rural energy supply,rural transport,rural education,agricultural science and technology,rural information network and rural sanitation infrastructure construction achievement has carried on the quantitative description and qualitative analysis,through the form of tables and graphics to rural infrastructure construction achievements and development status of the most intuitive display;Secondly on rural infrastructure construction to promote the rural economic growth mechanism has carried on the concrete analysis,namely rural infrastructure will be from two aspects: production factor inputs and factor productivity impact on rural economic growth,factor inputs mainly include capital inputs,labor inputs and resources inputs,factor productivity mainly including investment growth,human capital factor,innovation ability,technological progress and information degree;Finally,this paper selected the added value of ecological-economic on behalf of rural economic growth was explained variables,with effective irrigation area of farmland,rural electricity consumption,level of highway mileage,rural labor force level of education,for the agricultural science and technology,for the rural residents,the average family's mobile phone ownership per hundred households,rural clinic number on behalf of the seven major infrastructure explanatory variables,build the rural infrastructure construction influence on rural economic growth of the bidirectional fixed effects model and quantify the different types of rural infrastructure impact on rural economic growth.The study finds that among the seven main types of rural infrastructure,the regression coefficients of the traditional infrastructure represented by farmland,water conservancy and rural roads are still positive and maintain a high significant level,which still play an important role in the growth of rural economy.The regression coefficients of the new infrastructure represented by rural education and information network are consistent with the expected results.Both of them are positive and maintain a high level of significance,contributing a new force to the sustainable growth of rural economy in the new period;the regression coefficient of rural energy supply and rural sanitary environment infrastructure is positive,but the regression results are not significant,that is,although they have a positive impact on rural economic growth,the impact is relatively small and not obvious;but the agricultural science and technology base Infrastructure in the case of a lag period of regression results are not only not significant,but also negative,which is very inconsistent with our expectations.
