Study on the Effect of Rural Low Carbon Logistics Industry Development on Rural Economic Growth

Abstract

Development of the rural low-carbon logistics industry has become the main factor affecting the rapid development of China’s rural economy. From the perspective of a low-carbon economy, based on the analysis of the development level of rural low-carbon logistics, this study uses the theory and method of spatial measurement to analyze the interactive effect of rural low-carbon logistics development and rural economic construction in 31 provinces of China from 2002 to 2019 and then analyzes the mechanism of different factors on rural economic development. The results show that China’s low-carbon rural logistics development provinces have an obvious geographical agglomeration trend. The main distribution characteristics of rural low-carbon logistics development in China’s provinces and regions are “high-high” clustering and “low-low” clustering. Second, there is a long-term and sustainable interaction between the development of China’s low-carbon rural logistics industry and rural economic growth. Third, the income of rural residents in the eastern, central, and western regions has an important positive impact on rural economic growth. In the eastern region, financial industry growth has the largest effect on rural economic growth. In the central region, per capita income and education level of farmers have the greatest impact on rural economic growth. In the western region, the increase in income is the most important factor influencing low-carbon logistics in rural economic growth.
