摘要
促进共同富裕,最艰巨最繁重的任务在农村。如何让更多的农村家庭摆脱相对贫困,探索一条通往农村共富之路,是当下备受关注的热点话题。本文基于“宽带中国”战略试点开展准自然实验,研究网络基础设施建设对农村相对贫困的影响效应及作用机制。结果表明:“宽带中国”战略能够显著缓解农村相对贫困,该结论在一系列稳健性检验后仍然成立。其机制在于,网络基础设施建设能够有效增加农村就业机会(包括非农和外出就业)、提升农产品市场价值使农村家庭获益,从而缓解相对贫困。异质性分析表明,网络基础设施建设缓解农村相对贫困的效果不是以“涓滴”方式均匀惠及所有群体,那些户主为男性、接受过小学及以上教育且拥有互联网技能的农村家庭更为受益。此外,网络基础设施建设缓解相对贫困效果在未开通高铁和市场分割高的地区更明显。本研究可为推进网络基础设施建设,推动农村共同富裕提供一定政策启示。
Promoting common prosperity poses the most challenging and arduous task in rural areas.How to get rural areas out of relative poverty and realize common prosperity are great concerns currently.This paper uses a pilot policy named“Broadband China”as a quasi-natural experiment to study the effect and mechanism of the Network infrastructure construction on the relative poverty of rural households.This study finds that the“Broadband China”strategy has significantly alleviated relative poverty of rural households,and the conclusion is valid through a series of robustness tests.Network infrastructure construction benefits rural households by effectively increasing the employment opportunities,including non-agricultural and migrant employment,and increasing the market value of agricultural products.Furthermore,heterogeneity analysis shows that Network infrastructure construction does not evenly benefit all groups,and rural male households with better education and Internet skills benefit more from it.In addition,the relative poverty alleviation effect of Network infrastructure construction is more obvious in areas where high-speed railways have not been opened and where the market segmentation is relatively high.The paper provides policy reference for the construction of Network infrastructure and the common prosperity of rural areas.
