“…Celik [ 23 , 24 ] concluded that agricultural subsidies could be a significant element influencing grain production. In addition, it has been demonstrated that if the rate of technological growth is more sensitive to changes in land productivity protection subsidy policies than the rate of consumption growth, subsidy policies can be detrimental to long-term growth when the equilibrium growth path is determined [ 25 ].…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of agricultural subsidies on grain production in major grain-producing regions. We use an empirical model and data from fixed observation points in rural areas collected by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in 2016–2017. Our findings show that agricultural subsidies in major grain-producing regions have significantly increased rural household grain yield. Furthermore, findings show that agricultural subsidies and the cost of fertilizer and pesticides for rural households have a mediating effect on grain production. In addition, the effect of agricultural subsidies varies by type: income subsidies have a greater promotion effect on grain production, whereas subsidies for purchasing agricultural machinery have no significant promotion effect on grain production. These findings show that agricultural subsidies promote grain production in China’s major grain-producing regions, and have a mediating effect on different types of subsidies.

“…The impact of agricultural R&D on productivity, income, and poverty alleviation has been examined intensively (e.g., Alston, 2018; Alston & Pardey, 2013; Deng et al., 2021; Fan et al., 2005; Huang & Rozelle, 2009; Lai et al., 2017). These studies, however, usually focus on the direct impact of agricultural R&D and give little thought to the spillover effect caused by spatial correlation.…”

How much farmers benefit from public agricultural research and development (R&D) has been a topic of continued interest. Compared to studies based on classical statistics, we show theoretically and employ the Spatial Durbin Model and the Panel Threshold Regression Model to investigate the different impacts and spatial spillover effects of public agricultural R&D on farm and nonfarm income. Using China's provincial panel data from 2000 to 2015, we find that public agricultural R&D has a positive impact on rural household income. This impact is mainly reflected by nonfarm income and exhibits heterogeneous interprovincial-spatial spillover.We also find that interregional differences in infrastructure, represented by road transportation and Internet access in rural areas, are the main reasons for the spatial heterogeneity. Higher road density and Internet penetration enhance the positive impact of public agricultural R&D on rural income, and the enhancement exhibits characteristics of thresholds, after which the size of enhancement becomes increasingly larger.
