“…Moreover, rural e-commerce effectively integrates market demand for agricultural products, thereby mitigating farmers' disadvantaged positions in trade participation, access to credit, and social resources. In this way, rural e-commerce bolsters the resilience of agricultural production and operations [21,22]. Particularly in the wake of China's successful eradication of absolute poverty, as the country enters a new phase of comprehensive rural revitalization and consolidates its achievements in poverty alleviation, there remains a significant risk of previously lifted rural populations falling back into poverty [23].…”

This paper investigates the impact of e-commerce participation on household development resilience using a sample of 1229 households in the Shandong and Shaanxi provinces of China in 2022. It constructs the developmental resilience index of farm households from three dimensions of economy, society and culture using the entropy method, and establishes a counterfactual framework using the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method. The results suggest that participation in e-commerce has a significant and positive impact on farming household development resilience. The PSM method estimates that participation in e-commerce increases the developmental resilience of farming households by 9.63% compared to non-participation, with economic, social, and cultural resilience increasing by 9.29%, 9.84%, and 9.92%, respectively. The robustness test results confirm the findings. Further analysis reveals that participation in e-commerce enhances farm household development resilience through three mechanisms: improving economic efficiency, network relationship linkage, and risk appetite. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the impact of e-commerce participation on household development resilience varies among farmers with different endowment constraints. In particular, farmers with more years of education and cooperative members benefit more from e-commerce participation, especially live and platform e-commerce.
