Abstract

This paper finds that digital inclusive finance can improve farmers' income level, and has a more significant income increasing effect on low-income farmers. The three sub dimensions of digital inclusive finance have a positive effect on the income level of farmers. The level of regional economic development, farmers' entrepreneurial and employment behavior, and income distribution effect are positively moderating.
