{"title":"The Impact of the Agricultural Productive Service Industry on the Income Gap between Urban and Rural Residents: Evidence from 276 Chinese Prefecture-Level Cities","authors":"Rong Du, Jun Qiao, You-Shuai Feng","doi":"10.1142/s0217590823500522","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s0217590823500522","url":null,"abstract":"Based on the panel data of 276 prefecture-level cities in China from 2009 to 2018, this paper explores the impact of the agricultural productive service industry on the income gap between urban and rural residents by constructing the spatial econometric model and threshold regression model. The results show that the development of the agricultural productive service industry has a significant spatial spillover effect, which has a significant restraining effect on widening the income gap between urban and rural residents in the neighboring areas. Developing the agricultural productive service industry in the eastern and central regions significantly narrows the income gap between urban and rural residents. There is a significant urbanization threshold effect on the impact of the agricultural productive service industry on the income gap between urban and rural residents. When the urbanization level crosses the threshold of 3.7469, the role of the agricultural productive service industry in reducing the income gap between urban and rural residents increases significantly. Therefore, this paper proposes accelerating the development of the agricultural productive service industry, improving the urban–rural integration mechanism, strengthening the coordinated development between regions and playing the external effects of the agricultural productive service industry.","PeriodicalId":22940,"journal":{"name":"The Singapore Economic Review","volume":"180 S458","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135775583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first study to examine the combined and differential effects of MP and bank competition on the risk-taking behavior of Indian banks. Furthermore, we extend our analysis by re-examining this relationship after the COVID-19 crisis. Based on the panel quantile regression model, our main findings suggest that increased concentration in the Indian banking system weakens the risk-taking channel of MP. Furthermore, the COVID-19 crisis has significantly impacted the relationship between MP, bank competition and bank risk. Finally, we also find that the effect of MP and bank competition on banks’ risk-taking behavior differs between high- and low-risk banks. Our findings are robust to alternative measures of bank risk and MP.","PeriodicalId":22940,"journal":{"name":"The Singapore Economic Review","volume":"34 34","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135765493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
