ABSTRACT

How to better evaluate the effect of agricultural support policies should take into account the interdependence and spatial correlation between regions. This study adopts spatial measurement method and combines regional panel data to conduct empirical analysis of the effect. This study first uses the spatial panel model to explore the inter-regional interdependence, and then uses the spatial lag model and spatial error model to analyse the impact of policies on farmland area, monthly income of farmers' families and the number of rural medical insurance users. The research results show that the policy has a significant positive impact on the farmland area, the monthly income of farmers' families and the number of people insured by rural medical insurance, and the implementation of the policy leads to the increase of farmland area. In general, the fiscal support policy promotes the sustainable development of rural economy by increasing the arable land area, increasing farmers' income and improving the level of rural social security.
