“…At present, a lot of research has been conducted and many results have been obtained around the willingness or sorting behavior of farmers' domestic waste. At the level of theory application, ABC theory (Attitude-context-behavior theory) [8], TPB theory (Theory of Planned Behavior) [9], NAM theory (Normative activation theory) [10], and social interaction theory [1] have been applied by many scholars to the study of farmers' domestic waste sorting intention or sorting behavior. At the level of sorting willingness, Liu Jiyao et al [11] analyzed the influence of pollution cognition and village emotion on farmers' domestic waste sorting willingness using research data from 863 households in four counties in Shaanxi Province, and found that both pollution cognition and village emotion had a facilitating effect on farmers' domestic waste sorting willingness.…”

“…In summary, although many studies have been conducted in the literature on the willingness and behavior of farmers to separate household waste, there are still some improvements to be made. (1) At the level of research content, there are few studies that focus on the willingness and behavior of farmers to separate household waste, and the existing literature often studies the willingness and behavior of separation separately. In addition, there are few studies on the relationship between incentives and punishments and the influence mechanism between farmers' willingness and behavior to separate household waste, and there is a lack of relevant empirical studies.…”

“…Waste separation has become an inevitable way to realize the reduction, resourcefulness, and harmlessness of rural waste [1]. In 2019, the production of rural domestic waste in China was 299 million tons, compared with 180 million tons in 2017, and the production of rural domestic waste in China showed a rapid growth trend.…”

It is important to investigate the influence of incentives and penalties on farmers’ willingness and behavior towards domestic waste separation and the mechanism of influence. It is helpful for the government to formulate policies to guide farmers to actively participate in domestic waste separation, solve the problem of rural domestic waste pollution, and improve the effectiveness of rural waste separation management. By using the public data of 2020CLES, we analyzed the influence of incentives and penalties on farmers’ willingness and behavior towards domestic waste separation by using the Probit model, based on the technology acceptance model, using a chain of multiple mediating effects. The results are as follows. Firstly, the net effect of incentives and penalties on farmers’ willingness and behavior to separate household waste was 6.86%, and the net effect of separation behavior was 33.37%. Relatively speaking, the strengthening effect of incentives and penalties on farmers’ domestic waste sorting behavior is stronger than the promotion effect on farmers’ domestic waste sorting intention. Secondly, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness had significant chain mediating effects, with perceived ease of use having the strongest mediating effect. Thirdly, the incentives and penalties have a stronger effect on promoting the willingness of female farmers, elderly farmers, and farmers with low education to separate domestic waste. Finally, the influence of individual and household characteristics of farmers on their willingness and behavior to separate household waste varies. Accordingly, suggestions for improving the willingness and behavior of farmers to separate domestic waste are proposed in the following aspects: improving the reward and punishment system, making good use of market instruments, and increasing farmers’ awareness level and value recognition of domestic waste separation.

“…It is clear that DT_Mean cannot have a direct impact on LRB. Meanwhile, the behavior and cognition of groups within a community can have an effect on the behavior and cognition of individuals, which we call the neighborhood effect or endogenous interaction effect [50]. Therefore, DT_Mean satisfies the principle of bounded exclusion for the selection of instrumental variables.…”

In the digital age, it is critical to understand the nexus between digital technology (DT) and land rent-out behavior (LRB). It has implications for reducing the rate of land abandonment to achieve sustainable agricultural development. A large dataset (n = 5233) dating from 2016 and coming from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) is used to explore the impact of DT on LRB by applying several econometric models, also including the “Recursive Bivariate Probit (RBP) model” and “Chain Multiple Mediation effect (CMM) model”. We provide empirical evidence that the DT’s information sharing effect positively impacted LRB, while an opposite effect is observed by the “digital divide (DT_GAP)” i.e., information exclusion that negatively impacted LRB. We further test the effect of two other variables, namely “digital information dependence” and “non-farm jobs” supposed as mediating factors of DT and DT_GAP in influencing LRB, respectively in a positive and negative way. In particular, the variable “nonfarm jobs” plays a mediating role conditional on the variable “digital information dependence” as a mediating variable at the first level. In addition, statistical tests reveal that the impact of DT and the DT_GAP on LRB is not significant in terms of regional preferences but is significant in terms of age of householder and household income level.
