Abstract:

Under the background of the vigorous development of digital economy, how to help rural revitalization and realize the common prosperity of farmers and rural areas through digital means has become an important issue to be solved urgently. Taking the Yangtze river economic belt as an example, based on effectively measuring the level of digital village construction and common prosperity of farmers and rural areas in this regional economic belt from 2010 to 2022, this paper investigated the influence of digital village construction on common prosperity of farmers and rural areas by using the spatial Durbin model. The results showed that the construction of digital countryside significantly promoted the realization of common prosperity of farmers in rural areas, which was mainly reflected in improving farmers' income level, improving rural production and living conditions and promoting the transformation and upgrading of rural industries. There were obvious regional differences in the construction of digital villages in the Yangtze river economic belt. The development level of the eastern region was relatively advanced, while the construction and application level of digital infrastructure in the central and western regions was relatively backward. The construction of digital countryside had a positive spillover effect on the common prosperity of farmers and rural areas in the surrounding areas through technology diffusion, industrial linkage and resource sharing. Based on this, government departments should make overall planning for the construction of digital villages, promote the deep integration of digital technology and rural development, and formulate differentiated policies according to the resource endowments and development levels of different regions, so as to accelerate the digital transformation of rural areas.

Key words: digital village construction, common prosperity of farmers and rural areas, Yangtze river economic belt, spatial Durbin model
