“…Research findings indicate that digital villages infuse fresh dynamism into various economic and social activities, including but not limited to, economic development, inclusive digital finance, agricultural and rural digitalization, educational opportunities, and rural older adult care services (10). However, the efficacy of this digital empowerment is modulated by factors like the stage of economic development, extent of marketization, and level of human capital, among others.…”

BackgroundThe advancement of digital villages in China is shaped by the degree of human capital within the rural labor force, which not only restricts the potential of digital village but also influences the impact of digital empowerment on the progression of the rural older adult care service industry.Materials and methodsUsing panel data from 30 Chinese provinces between 2011 and 2020, we created benchmark and threshold regression models to investigate the influence of digital village construction on the development of the rural older adult care service industry and to delineate the threshold effects of human capital on it. We further scrutinized the correlation between the two systems, along with the factors that affect it, through a coupling coordination model.ResultsPreliminary, the baseline regression outcomes show that the digital village construction is conducive to the progression of the rural older adult care service industry (p < 0.05). Moreover, we identified a significant nonlinear threshold relationship between the digital village, human capital, and the advancement of the rural older adult care service industry (HUM1ST, p < 0.05; HUM2DT, p < 0.01; HUM3DT, p < 0.01). These results indicate that the digital technology’s effect on the development of the rural older adult care service industry is limited by the rural human capital level. Lastly, we found that higher levels of human capital enhance the coupling of the digital village with the rural older adult care service industry (p < 0.01), with the influence of per capita education level being the most pronounced (CoefHUM1 > CoefHUM2 > CoefHUM3).ConclusionThe digital village substantially empowers the rural older adult care service industry, with human capital exhibiting a significant threshold effect on this empowerment. Furthermore, variances in the level of human capital have a considerable impact on the integration of the digital village and the rural older adult care service industry.

“…Lin et al ( 2022) [26] used CCD model to reveal interactions between urban resilience subsystems. Xie et al (2022) [27] studied the coupling relationship between cold-chain logistics and the economy from 2010 to 2019, based on the CCD model. Therefore, referring to the research of these scholars, we use the CCD model to measure the coupling and coordination between the digital economic system and the rural logistics system.…”

As an important engine for high-quality economic development, the digital economy is gradually integrating with the rural logistics industry. This trend is contributing to making rural logistics a fundamental, strategic, and pioneering industry. However, some valuable topics remain unstudied, such as whether they are coupled and whether there is variability in the coupling system across the provinces. Therefore, this article takes system theory and coupling theory as the analytical framework, aiming to better elaborate the subject’s logical relationship and operational structure of the coupled system, which is composed of a digital economy subsystem and a rural logistics subsystem. Furthermore, 21 provinces are seen as the research object in China, and the coupling coordination model is constructed, aiming to verify the coupling and coordination relationship between the two subsystems. The results suggest that two subsystems are coupled and coordinated in the same direction, and they feed back and influence each other. During the same period, four echelons are divided and there is variability in the coupling and coordination between the digital economy and rural logistics, according to the coupling degree (CD) and coupling coordination degree (CCD). Findings presented can serve as a useful reference for the evolutionary laws of the coupled system. The findings presented here can serve as a useful reference for the evolutionary laws of coupled systems. Moreover, it further provides ideas for the development between rural logistics and the digital economy.

The digital economy is integral in driving economic growth, particularly of high-quality standards. Against the backdrop of the “Double Carbon” project, exploring the impact of the digital economy on green agricultural development bears tremendous practical significance. Thus, this study aims to investigate how the digital economy affects agricultural green total factor productivity (GTFP). The entropy-TOPSIS method and SBM-GML index are used to measure core variables quantitatively. In addition, two-way fixed effects panel data models, Tobit, and intermediary effect models are implemented. Three research findings emerge. First, China’s agricultural GTFP level generally experiences an upward trend, and the development of the digital economy has a significant positive effect on increasing agricultural GTFP. Second, the digital economy mainly promotes agricultural technology innovation that boosts agricultural GTFP. Third, Western China experiences a more significant positive effect of the digital economy on agricultural GTFP than Central and Eastern China. Finally, based on the findings, this paper proposes relevant policy recommendations to promote green and sustainable agriculture development.
