“…The rural Engel coefficient is an indicator that measures the consumption structure of rural households. A lower rural Engel coefficient means that the proportion of food expenditure in total consumption for rural residents is relatively low, indicating a shift in their consumption structure towards non-food items and an improvement in living standards [103] A lower agricultural carbon emission intensity means that, under the same agricultural output, agriculture generates fewer carbon emissions, thereby reducing its impact on climate change [104]. Therefore, this study selects indicators such as the urban-rural income gap, rural Engel coefficient, and agricultural carbon emission intensity to measure the social benefits of agricultural green development.…”

Green development is a concept of sustainable development, aiming to protect the environment and ecosystems while meeting economic development needs. In the field of agriculture, green development has emerged as a crucial pathway for reconciling the conflicts between agricultural development and ecological conservation. To investigate the level of green development in Chinese agriculture, regional variations, and the evolutionary patterns, this paper is based on the framework of sustainable development theory. This study establishes a comprehensive evaluation system for agricultural green development and applies methods such as entropy-weighted TOPSIS, Dagum’s Gini coefficient, kernel density estimation, Moran’s I index, and Markov chains to analyze the level of agricultural green development, regional disparities, and dynamic evolution in China. The findings of this study reveal that: (1) The overall level of agricultural green development in China is steadily improving, with notable differences in the level of agricultural green development among different regions and provinces. There are significant disparities in agricultural green development between regions, and the overall disparities exhibit a fluctuating downward trend characterized by periods of increase followed by decrease. The regional disparities are identified as the primary cause of the overall disparities in agricultural green development in China. (2) The eight major economic regions in China are experiencing steady development in agricultural green practices, but there are varying degrees of polarization due to different development speeds. (3) This study also highlights a clear spatial positive correlation in the level of agricultural green development in China, with most provinces showing clustering in the first and third quadrants, indicating a “high–high” (H-H) and “low–low” (L-L) agglomeration pattern. (4) The study reveals that the level of agricultural green development in China exhibits a certain degree of stability. Over time, the probability of transitioning from lower-level regions to neighboring higher-level regions increases, and the agricultural green development level in neighboring regions can influence the spatial transfer probability within a given region. Therefore, agricultural green development demonstrates significant spatial dependence.

“…Changing production inputs, on the other hand, pertains to the influence of fiscal expenditure for agriculture on traditional production factors in the context of climate change. This mainly encompasses capital and labor inputs (Zhang et al, 2024), coupled with the spontaneous adaptive behaviors adopted by farmers during production and the principal direction of fiscal expenditure for agriculture. This study emphasizes the impact of fiscal expenditure for agriculture on labor and machinery inputs.…”

“…As indicated in Table 3, fiscal expenditure for agriculture can affect crop yield by adjusting maize planting structure and by influencing labor and machinery inputs for all three crops (Zhang et al, 2024). Specifically, the interaction between fiscal expenditure for agriculture and the planting structure has a significantly negative impact on maize yield, while no substantial effect is observed on rice and wheat yields.…”

The profound impact of climate change on agricultural production, and the government’s fiscal expenditure for agriculture, is considered a crucial means to address this challenge. This study utilizes panel data from all prefecture-level cities in Heilongjiang Province from 2000 to 2020. Drawing upon the Cobb–Douglas production function, an economic climate model is constructed to empirically analyze the impact of climate change on grain yield in Heilongjiang Province. Furthermore, the role of fiscal expenditure for agriculture in mitigating the effects of climate change on grain yield is explored. Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) estimation is employed to address issues of “heteroscedasticity,” “autocorrelation within groups,” and “cross-sectional contemporaneous correlation” present in the model. The results indicate that climate change has a positive impact on rice and corn yields, while exhibiting a negative impact on wheat yield. The influence of climate change on crop yield is both linear and nonlinear. Specifically, temperature demonstrates a linear relationship with rice and corn yields, whereas precipitation shows a significant inverted U-shaped relationship with rice and corn yields. The impact of climate change on grain production in Heilongjiang Province varies significantly across regions. Fiscal expenditure for agriculture has a significant positive effect on the yield of major grain crops in Heilongjiang Province. In addressing the impact of climate change on grain production, agricultural fiscal expenditure enhances the positive effect of precipitation on rice and corn yields, while diminishing the positive impact of temperature on corn yield.

“…In an era where environmental conservation is increasingly recognized, the concept of a green economy is becoming increasingly important in efforts to achieve sustainable economic growth. A green economy does not only emphasize economic aspects, but also pays attention to the impact of economic activities on society and the environment (Fang, 2024;Z. Zhang, 2024).…”

Green economic growth is the main focus in achieving sustainable development throughout the world. This study aims to conduct a global analysis of fiscal spending, institutional quality, and stock markets in relation to green economic growth. Through a holistic approach, this research explores the complex relationship between these three factors and their impact on sustainable economic growth. By considering various relevant variables and indicators, this study provides an in-depth understanding of the factors influencing the transition to a green economy. Well-directed fiscal spending can encourage investment in green technologies and green infrastructure, while good institutional quality ensures effective and fair policy implementation. Additionally, the stock market plays an important role in providing capital to companies focused on green innovation. It is hoped that the results of this analysis will provide valuable insights for policy makers, economic practitioners and other stakeholders in designing sustainable and environmentally friendly economic development strategies. The findings of this study show that synergy between prudent fiscal policy, strong institutions, and dynamic stock markets is critical to driving green economic growth. Thus, this study has the potential to make a significant contribution to advancing the sustainable development agenda at the global level. The resulting conclusions can form the basis for strategic decision-making that supports the transition to a green economy, as well as help direct investment and public policy in a more sustainable direction.
