Abstract

The farmland pollution has threatened the lifeblood of people's livelihoods through the soil-to-crop system, and the resulting food safety risks are becoming more and more pronounced. Digital inclusive finance (DIF) can provide convenient financial services for the eco-transformation of farmland utilization. This study analyzed the spatial evolution pattern of eco-efficiency of farmland utilization (EEFU) and DIF, empirically tested the impact of DIF on EEFU, and discussed the impact of DIF on EEFU with changes in the level of environmental regulatory intensity based on panel data from 2011 to 2022 in China. The results found that the development of EEFU and DIF is increasing, and the polarization phenomenon is constantly easing, but the absolute differences between different provinces in China have an expanding trend. DIF can improve the EEFU, and this promotion effect is more pronounced in eastern and central China, non-grain-producing areas, and areas with low levels of financial development. DIF will not be able to improve EEFU until environmental regulation has reached a certain level. China should fully leverage the positive role of DIF and environmental regulations in promoting the EEFU, provide more differentiated financial products, financial tools, and financial models for the eco-transformation of farmland utilization, and explore a path for eco-transformation of farmland utilization that complements environmental regulations and development of market-inclusive finance.

数字普惠金融与环境监管对中国农田利用生态效率的影响

耕地污染通过 "土壤-作物 "系统威胁着民生命脉，由此带来的食品安全风险日益凸显。数字普惠金融（DIF）可以为耕地利用的生态转型提供便捷的金融服务。本研究基于中国2011-2022年面板数据，分析了耕地利用生态效益（EEFU）与DIF的空间演化规律，实证检验了DIF对EEFU的影响，并探讨了DIF随环境监管强度水平变化对EEFU的影响。结果发现，EEFU 和 DIF 的发展水平不断提高，两极分化现象不断缓解，但中国不同省份之间的绝对差异有扩大的趋势。DIF 可以改善 EEFU，这种促进作用在中国东部和中部、非产粮区以及金融发展水平较低的地区更为明显。在环境监管达到一定水平之前，DIF 无法改善 EEFU。中国应充分发挥 DIF 和环境监管对 EEFU 的积极促进作用，为耕地利用生态化提供更多差异化的金融产品、金融工具和金融模式，探索出一条与环境监管和发展市场普惠金融相辅相成的耕地利用生态化道路。

期刊介绍： Land Degradation & Development is an international journal which seeks to promote rational study of the recognition, monitoring, control and rehabilitation of degradation in terrestrial environments. The journal focuses on: - what land degradation is; - what causes land degradation; - the impacts of land degradation - the scale of land degradation; - the history, current status or future trends of land degradation; - avoidance, mitigation and control of land degradation; - remedial actions to rehabilitate or restore degraded land; - sustainable land management.
