Abstract

The development of rural finance, by providing convenient credit, introducing modern financial services, and improving electronic payment systems, addresses the financial needs of rural residents, fosters the growth of rural industries, and improves the quality of life. This study utilizes provincial panel data from China covering the period 2011 to 2021 to examine the impact of rural financial development on the consumption levels of rural residents. The findings indicate that rural financial development exerts a significant positive influence on rural consumption, with rural electronic payments serving as a transmission mechanism in this relationship. A heterogeneity analysis further reveals that the effect of rural financial development on consumption levels differs according to the level of digital financial inclusion. Specifically, the positive impact is more pronounced in provinces with higher levels of digital financial inclusion compared to those with lower levels.

金融发展、电子支付与居民消费：来自中国农村的证据

农村金融的发展，通过提供便利的信贷、引入现代金融服务、完善电子支付系统，解决了农村居民的金融需求，促进了农村产业的发展，提高了农村居民的生活质量。本研究利用中国 2011 年至 2021 年的省级面板数据，考察了农村金融发展对农村居民消费水平的影响。研究结果表明，农村金融发展对农村居民消费产生了显著的正向影响，而农村电子支付则是这一关系的传导机制。异质性分析进一步表明，农村金融发展对消费水平的影响因数字金融包容性水平的不同而不同。具体而言，与数字金融普惠水平较低的省份相比，数字金融普惠水平较高的省份的积极影响更为明显。
