Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change, resource depletion, global warming, and other environmental issues have become some of the biggest challenges of our time. Green fiscal policies, such as subsidies, tax incentives, and carbon pricing, are powerful tools that help reduce these problems while guiding economies toward sustainable development. These policies encourage green investments, promote innovation in eco-friendly technologies, and boost productivity in ways that protect the environment. This Special Issue focuses on how green fiscal policies can help tackle environmental and economic challenges. We aim to explore topics such as the effects of these policies on the economy, trends in green investments, and how fiscal measures drive innovation and productivity. Submissions may include case studies, comparative research, and insights into how people and businesses respond to these policies. By gathering diverse perspectives, this Special Issue will offer practical ideas for creating fiscal strategies that support global sustainability.

We welcome original research articles, reviews, and theoretical papers. All submissions will go through a thorough peer-review process to ensure that contributions will be of high quality and align with the journal’s goals.

Based on endogenous growth theory and technological innovation theory, this paper uses panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2022 to investigate the impact of digital village construction on agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP). AGTFP was measured by the EBM-GML method, and mediated effects and heterogeneity analysis were used to reveal its conduction pathway. The findings are as follows: (1) AGTFP showed an overall upward trend during the sample period, and most provinces peaked in 2018. Among them, the AGTFP index value of the eastern coastal provinces (such as Tianjin and Beijing) is between 1.059 and 1.129, maintaining the leading position. The western region fluctuates greatly; e.g., the AGTFP value of Qinghai Province fluctuates between 0.915 and 1.047. (2) Digital village construction significantly improves AGTFP by promoting green technology progress (coefficient 0.105, significant at the 5% level) but has no significant impact on technical efficiency. (3) Agricultural informatization (coefficient 0.040, significant at the 5% level) and rural human capital (coefficient 0.115, significant at the 5% level) are important intermediary channels for digital village construction to affect AGTFP. (4) Regional heterogeneity analysis showed that the effect of digital village construction in the eastern region (coefficient 0.151, significant at the 5% level) and the southern provinces (coefficient 0.170, significant at the 1% level) was more significant. The digital village construction in the main producing areas (coefficient 0.113, significant at the 1% level) also significantly promoted AGTFP. Based on the research results, it is suggested that the promotion and application of digital technology be strengthened, the land transfer system improved, an agricultural information platform built, rural human capital improved, and regional differentiated development strategies implemented.
